Voyage Littéraire De La Grèce, Ou Lettres Sur Les Grecs, Anciens Et Modernes, Avec Un Parallele De Leurs Moeurs
Voyage Littéraire De La Grèce is a 1771 travelogue and archaeological survey of Greece by Pierre Augustin Guys, written in French for readers interested in ancient and modern Greek manners and topography. The two pictures are small engraved ornaments: a woodcut-style flower sprig with loose blossoms and buds, and a Rococo armorial cartouche with scrolling foliage around a shield under a banner inscribed with a name. A designer could draw on the sprig for botanical borders and the cartouche for ornamental frames and heraldic motifs.
