La patte de velours : pour servir de suite à la seconde édition du Coup de patte : ouvrage concernant le Sallon de peinture : année 1781

Carmontelle, 1717-1806, Cailleau, André-Charles, 1731-1798 · 1781 · A Londres [i.e. Paris] ; Et se trouve a Paris : Chez Cailleau, imprimeur-libraire, rue Saint-Severin · 1 picture

A satirical pamphlet on the 1781 Paris Salon of painting and sculpture, written by Carmontelle and issued by the printer-bookseller André-Charles Cailleau, with a false London imprint hiding its Paris origin, and aimed at art-world readers. Its single picture is a small printed headpiece of a flower and fruit garland, a crisp engraved ornament a designer could borrow as a decorative border or divider.
