Verhandeling over de bouwkunde : met de noodige aanmerkingen en waarneemingen
This is an 1781 Dutch translation of Sébastien Le Clerc's treatise on architecture, printed in Amsterdam for the translator and sold by two local booksellers. The first picture is an ornamental plate of two putti flanking a shield with a bird and crossed tools, and the second is a dedication slip reading 'Geschenk van' a donor's name, a gift inscription. A designer might take from the plate its symmetrical cartouche framing and the scrolled acanthus and garland details.
