Labirinthe de Versailles
Labirinthe de Versailles is a 1677 Paris engraved series by Sébastien Le Clerc after Charles Le Brun, printed by the Imprimerie Royale for a court audience to document the garden labyrinth at Versailles. Its plates show formal fountains set in clipped woodland, with Aesop's fables figured in the basins. A designer might take the strict symmetry of the garden layouts, the tiered basins, and the fine hatched engraving that makes stone and foliage read clearly.
