Sobre este artículo
SUPERB COPY OF THIS SPLENDID CLASSICAL REVIVAL PATTERN BOOK, informed by recent archaeological discoveries in Italy. Created for the king's brother, these extravagant designs "demonstrate [Cauvet's] tremendous range and understanding of classical ornament" (Vasemania). The number and content of leaves differ between copies. That offered here is among the most complete recorded. In fine condition.
