Le guide fidele de la vraie gloire : presenté à monseigneur le duc de Bourgogne, instruisant ce jeune prince des choses qu'il doit croire, demander, pratiquer, frequenter, et eviter pour être roy pendant tous les siecles ...
A devotional guidebook printed in Paris in 1688 by Pierre Landry, written by André Thomas Barenger and dedicated to the young Duke of Burgundy to instruct a prince in Catholic belief, prayer and conduct. Its engravings by Franz Ertinger and others show allegorical and scriptural scenes with French captions framed in scrolls. A designer might take from them the dense, ornamented engraved frames, the layered clouds and heavenly figures, and the architectural interiors with draped curtains and columns.
