This 1778 Paris auction catalogue, printed by Laurent François Prault for the dealer François Basan and the auctioneer Dufresne, offers a collection of Italian, Flemish, Dutch and French paintings alongside drawings, bronzes, miniatures and prints. The first picture is a plain title page with a small engraved vignette, and the second is a decorative border of scrolled acanthus, urns and foliage, a useful reference for classical ornament, cartouches and printed type layout.
