Receuil des plus beaux portails de plusieures eglises de Paris
A folio of engraved church-front elevations by Pierre Cottart and Jean Marot, issued in Paris around 1660 for architects, masons and patrons building in the Baroque manner. Line engravings show frontal facades with paired columns, scrolled volutes, pediments, urns and niche statues, each over a hatched ground plan, giving designers ready classical orders, ornament details and scale bars.
