Conferences de l'Academie royale de peinture et de sculpture
Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture's 1705 London edition of its conferences on painting and sculpture, issued by David Mortier and presented to art students and academicians of the period. The pictures are decorative woodcut headpieces and tailpieces: a central face framed by scrolls and foliage, and a scene of a horse and a rider within acanthus scrolls, useful to designers studying ornamental framing and symmetrical border motifs.
