Stella, Jacques, 1596-1657, Stella, Claudine, 1636-1697, Stella, Françoise, 1638-1691 · 1658 · Paris : Aux galleries du Louure · 34 pictures

A 1658 Paris pattern book of architectural ornament drawn after antique models, published at the Galleries of the Louvre and credited to Jacques Stella with his daughters Claudine and Françoise. Its pictures are engraved plates of horizontal friezes stacked in framed bands, with acanthus scrolls, palmettes, shells, and egg-and-dart style mouldings shaded to suggest carved stone. A designer could take ready-made border and frieze repeats for classical or Baroque decorative bands.
