Les oeuvres d'architecture d'Anthoine Le Pautre
A 1652 architectural pattern book by Antoine Le Pautre, published in Paris by Jombert, aimed at architects and builders of its time. Its plates show French town-house and palace façades, courtyards and doorways in measured elevation and perspective, many printed sideways on the page. A designer might take from them the rhythm of window bays, pilasters, pediments and carved door surrounds, drawn in clean line engraving.
