Recueil de menuiserie pratique
A French practical joinery portfolio by N. Gateuil, dated 1858 and published without a named city or publisher, probably for carpenters and joiners. Its plates are measured elevations and profiles of panelled doors, wall panelling and mouldings drawn in outline with sepia wash. A designer could draw on the rhythm of raised panels, rectangular framing and classical cornice profiles for interior wood detailing.
