Second livre d'architectvre, contenant plusieurs & diuerses ordonances de cheminees, lucarnes, portes, fonteines, puis & pauillons, pour enrichir tant le dedans que le dehors de tous edifices. Auec les desseins de dix sepultures toutes differentes
A French architectural pattern book of 1561, engraved and published by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau in Paris for masons, joiners and patrons furnishing Renaissance houses, devoted to chimneypieces, dormers, doorways, fountains, wells, garden pavilions and ten tomb designs. The plates are line engravings shown as frontal elevations: tiered mantels with carved relief panels, caryatid brackets, flanking columns and heavy cornices, drawn thinly enough that designers can lift single ornament fields, pilaster profiles or whole symmetrical frames.
