L'art de peindre à l'esprit : ouvrage dans lequel les préceptes sont confirmés par des exemples tirés des meilleurs orateurs & poètes françois
A French treatise on rhetoric and eloquence by Jean Bernard Sensaric, revised by Noël François de Wailly, printed in Paris by A.M. Lottin in 1771 for students of oratory and public speaking. The pictures here are not text illustrations but close views of the volume's hand-marbled endpapers, showing combed peacock and feather patterns in madder red, ochre, grey-blue and cream on soft laid paper, useful as period-accurate textures, backgrounds and cover papers.
