L'architecture des voutes, ou, L'art des traits et coupe des voutes : traicté tres-vtil, voire necessaire a tous architectes, maistres massons, appareilleurs, tailleurs de pierre, et generalement a tous ceux qui se meslent de l'architecture, mesme militaire
A 1643 Paris treatise on vault construction and stone-cutting by François Derand, written for architects, master masons, and stonecutters as a practical manual of stereotomy. The four plates show ornamental cartouche frames with French captions describing the curves of vault intrados and joints, drawn as fine engraved line work with scrolls, masks, and pendant tassels.
