A French guidebook of 1778 by Georges-Louis Le Rouge, Claude Marin Saugrain and Jean-Aimar Piganiol de La Force, published in Paris for visitors to the capital and its royal and country residences. Its engraved views show palaces and institutions drawn in plain architectural elevation, rotated here to fit the page, with small ornamental tailpieces between entries that a designer could borrow for vignettes or dividers.
