Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes : avec la vie des architectes
Four plates from a 1725 French treatise on painters and architects, published at Trévoux by André Félibien and his relative Jean-François Félibien des Avaux, showing ground plans and garden layouts for architectural study. The engraved plans of palace floors, parterres and formal gardens, with lettered keys and compass roses, offer a designer clear, precise models of symmetrical geometric planning.
