Pausanias, Ou Voyage Historique De La Grèce
Pausanias, Ou Voyage Historique De La Grèce is a 1731 French edition of the Greek travel account by Pausanias, issued as an archaeological and topographical work of ancient Greece for scholars and antiquarians. The pictures are engraved decorative bands of scrolls, foliage, vases, flower baskets, and drapery panels, with monogram initials at the lower corners. A designer could draw on their symmetrical cartouche layouts, flowing acanthus scrollwork, and urn-and-garland motifs for ornamental borders.
