About this Item
Paris, N(icolas) Langlois, (no date, ca. 1680). Complete series of nice etched title and 5 plates showing chimney-pieces with scales of measurements in French feet. ca. 27,7 x 16,8 cm on leaves of ca. 29 x 19,8 cm. Sewn (title loose).*Not in Fuhring, Guilmard, or any of the other usual bibliographies. Cf. Kat. Orn. Berlin No. 3786 (later edition published by I. Mariette). Very rare first edition. Complete series of designs for nicely ornamented chimney-pieces, in architectural style, with mirrors. A typical feature of two designs is the cornice of the frieze above the tablet, which is interrupted by a round medallion. The plates are irregularly numbered, as Francard included three (changed) plates from another series (see explanation of Kat. Orn. Berl.) Laurent Francart (flourished in Paris ca. 1681 - 1690), architect, ornament designer and painter, became Royal architect. The ornamentation of the portal of the Parisian Dôme des Invalides was made by him. - Small stain to two plates. The word 'cheminé' is added to 4 plates in contemporary handwriting.[(4462)].
