BALTHAZAR MONCORNET (AFTER FRANÇOIS LEFEBVRE)
Livre Nouveau de toutes sortes d'ouvrages d'Orfevries receuillies des meilleurs ouvriers de ce temps.

Group of 10 engravings (of 12), circa 1650-1665. Each approximately 170x133 mm; 7x5 1/4 inches. Very good impressions of these extremely scarce engravings.

This series is composed of engravings representing various jewelry designs for earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants, paired below with views of various cities and gardens, including Notre-Dame de Paris, the Pont Neuf, Paris, Saint-Denis, the Château de Rueil and Rome. The engravings are based on the jewelry designs of François Lefebvre who worked in Paris during the first half of the 17th century.
