Les réjoüissances de la paix, faites dans la ville de Lyon le 20. mars 1660
A 1660 festival account printed in Lyon by Guillaume Barbier and Jacques Justet, written by the Jesuit Claude-François Ménestrier, describing the celebrations for the Peace of the Pyrenees, aimed at a French royal and civic audience. The four plates are engraved designs for ephemeral triumphal arches and pedestals, built from classical columns, carved masks, fleurs-de-lis, swags and billowing rays, and studded with stars and fireworks-like streams that a designer could borrow for ornamental framing or baroque decorative motifs.
