Guide des amateurs et des étrangers voyageurs à Paris ou description raisonnée de cette ville, de sa banlieue, & de tout ce qu'elles contiennent de remarquable
Guide des amateurs et des étrangers voyageurs à Paris is a 1787 guidebook by Luc Vincent Thiéry, written for art lovers and foreign travellers visiting Paris and its surroundings. Its plates are engraved views of Parisian buildings, streets and monuments, such as the Hôtel des Monnaies and the Sainte-Geneviève portal, with carriages, pedestrians and soldiers in the foreground. A designer could take from them the crisp architectural line work, orderly colonnades and small figures that give scale to large classical façades.
