Fürstlich Liechtensteinsche Gemäldegalerie (Vienna, Austria) · 1780 · Vienne : Chez Jean Thom. nob. de Trattnern, imprimeur et libraire de la cour · 2 pictures

This 1780 catalogue from Vienna, printed by Trattnern for the court, describes paintings and sculptures in the private gallery of Prince Franz Joseph of Liechtenstein, and its pictures are small engraved vignettes and ornaments. The head-piece shows a seated classical woman beside a pedestal topped with a bust, set in a garden with trees, a design a designer could borrow for a classical frontispiece or a heading with a scene framed by foliage. The second picture is a symmetrical cartouche of scrolls, leaves and volutes that suggests a reusable border or ornamental frame.
