Description historique de l'Hôtel royal des invalides
A historical description of the Hôtel royal des Invalides in Paris, written by the abbé Gabriel-Louis-Calabre Pérau and printed in 1756 for the Paris bookseller Guillaume Desprez. Its engraved plates show the chapel's sculpture and decorative framing, and a designer might draw on their cartouche frames, putti and carved architectural ornament.
