Observations d'une société d'amateurs sur les tableaux exposés au Salon cette année 1761 : tirées de l'Observateur litteraire de M. l'abbé de la Porte
An 1761 Paris book of art criticism by Joseph de Laporte and publisher Nicolas-Bonaventure Duchesne, written as observations on paintings shown at that year's Salon for a French readership of art lovers. The single picture is a decorative typographic ornament, a rectangular border of acanthus-style scrolls flanking a central urn of flowers and foliage, which a designer could take as a model for symmetrical rococo-era ornament framing a headpiece or panel.
