Explication des tableaux de la galerie de Versailles et de ses deux sallons
A 1687 guidebook printed at Versailles by François Muguet, written by Pierre Rainssant and Pierre Giffart, explaining the paintings of the Versailles Gallery and its two salons for visitors to the royal palace. Its pictures are small woodcut floral ornaments, mostly symmetrical bouquets and vases built from tulips, carnations, and rosettes, which a designer could reuse as compact border or spot motifs for historical or decorative print work.
