L'ordre françois trouvé dans la nature is an 1783 architectural treatise published in Paris by Ribart de Chamoust, with plates engraved by Heinrich Schmitz and Pierre Claude Delagardette and sold through the bookseller Jean-Luc Nyon for an architectural audience. Its engraved plates show column orders with measured profiles, balustrades, vases, tiled floor patterns, and a door frame with a pedimented cornice. A designer could take crisp classical moulding profiles, proportional column diagrams, and clean geometric pavement patterns from them.
