Description: J.F. de Neufforge (1714-1791) engraved and published a group of handsome architectural studies and details. These classical decorative images were of building façades and plans, garden plans, drawings for fountains, gates and other architectural details. Each antique engraving demonstrates a balance between the simple lines of classic Greco-Roman architecture and the fine ornament and detail prevalent in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These delicately engraved antique prints are fine examples of the decoration of the period immediately preceding the American and French Revolutions. Recueil Elementaire D’Architecture included some 900 architectural engravings, nearly all of which were not only designed by also engraved by Neufforge himself. The publication was extensively used as a source-book throughout the late 18th century.
