Catalogue d'une collection d'estampes de choix, provenans du cabinet de M. B*** : dont la vente se fera le mardi 12 juillet 1774, & jours suivans, de relevée, en une des salles des Grands-Augustins
This is a Paris auction catalogue of 1774 for a choice collection of prints from the cabinet of M. B***, sold by the auctioneer Chariot and distributed by the print dealer Joullain for collectors and print buyers. Its pictures are small black ornamental headpieces and tailpieces: one a horizontal band of scrolling foliage around a central urn or medallion, the other a symmetrical cluster of acanthus-like scrolls and a fleur-like finial, both cut in crisp black on plain cream paper, offering designers classical borders and dividers.
