De Parijsche winkelhuizen, of, Keur der voornaamste bestaande winkelpuijen te Parijs : ten dienste van architecten, timmerlieden, metselaars en verdere bouwkundigen
A Dutch-language 1850 pattern book published in Amsterdam by D. Tormijn, collecting measured elevations of the principal shopfronts in Paris for use by architects, carpenters, masons and other building tradesmen. The three plates show flat architectural drawings of storefronts with signage, pilasters, arched windows and carved ornament. A designer could take from them the clean line-drawn proportions of nineteenth-century Parisian shop facades, with their lettered fascias, glazed bays and decorative panels.
