Quatremère de Quincy, M. (Antoine-Chrysostome), 1755-1849, author, Desenne, Victor, bookseller · 1791 · A Paris : Chez Desenne, libraire, au Palais royal · 1 picture

A French treatise of 1791 by Quatremère de Quincy, published in Paris by the bookseller Victor Desenne, arguing against proposed rules for the Academy of Painting and Sculpture and addressed to artists and art students. The single picture is a small black ornamental emblem on a cream page, a curling scroll-and-leaf cartouche with a central motif, useful to a designer as a compact example of symmetrical decorative ornament for borders, dividers or stamp-like marks.
