A priced sale catalogue of the paintings, drawings, prints, bronzes, porcelain, stones and shells left by the chevalier Antoine de La Roque, compiled by the Paris dealer Edme-François Gersaint with Charles-Nicolas Cochin and printed in Paris in 1745 for collectors and the trade. The plates here are small letterpress woodcut ornaments — a fringed canopy flanked by acanthus scrolls and hanging urns, a latticed basket sprouting leafy branches — printed in blunt heavy black on laid paper, useful as compact symmetrical devices, section breaks and repeatable stamps.
