Description des tableaux de la Galerie Royale et du cabinet de Sans-Souci

Oesterreich, Matthias, 1716-1778 · 1771 · A Potsdam : Chez Chretien Frederic Voss · 4 pictures

A 1771 French-language catalogue published in Potsdam by Chretien Frederic Voss, written by Matthias Oesterreich to describe paintings in Frederick the Great's Royal Gallery and Sans-Souci cabinet. The pictures are small printed headpieces and tailpieces: three rough woodcut-style ornaments of wreaths, a crowned shield, a pedestal and a rose, plus a copperplate engraving of a winged allegorical woman with a putto. A designer might take from them compact vignette ornament, classical garland arrangements, and allegorical figure engraving suited to decorative borders.
