Histoire ecclésiastique.
A French ecclesiastical history published in Paris by Jean Mariette, with the imprint dated 1738 and the work attributed to Claude-Pierre Goujet, who lived 1697 to 1767. The single picture is a decorative headpiece in the Rococo manner, with a crowned royal shield and fleur-de-lis set within a dense frame of scrolls and foliage. A designer could take from it the symmetrical cartouche structure, the scrolled acanthus borders, and the heraldic crown-and-shield motif for ornamental framing.
