‎Der flämische Maler, Zeichner und Radierer folgte nach einer Lehrzeit in Antwerpen bei A. Goubau (1616-1698), seinem Bruder Pieter (1657-1720) nach Rom. Hier malte und zeichnete er Landschaften im Stile von Claude Lorrain (1600-1682) und G. Dughet (gen. Gaspard Poussin, 1615-1675). In seinen bildmäßigen Blättern benutzt er die allgemeingültige weiträumige Komposition; im Hintergrund tauchen bekannte römische Bauwerke, Phantasiekastelle oder Pyramiden auf. Eine großzügige Zeichnung des Baumschlags, wie auch bei dem hier vorliegenden Blatt zu erkennen, ist typisch.‎

‎Jacques-François Blondel (1705 -1774) eut un rôle décisif dans l’élaboration du style Louis XV. Contre l'utilisation du décor rocaille, il professait la simplicité ornementale, la perfection des proportions dans le respect des règles édictées par les grands maîtres du XVIIe siècle : François Mansart, Claude Perrault et Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Il fut professeur de Étienne-Louis Boullée, Claude Nicolas Ledoux et Alexandre Théodore Brongniart. Bon état d’occasion Livres à planches‎

‎Deux vignettes dessinées par Lusson et 11 planches d'architecture gravées par Lusson ou Devilliers. La foire Saint-Germain, dont les origines remontent au Moyen-Âge et qui fut le théâtre de nombreux troubles sous l'Ancien Régime, après avoir décliné durant la Révolution, fut supprimée en 1806. Une partie de son terrain fut affecté au marché Saint-Germain actuel qui fut reconstruit de 1813 à 1819. Le marché Saint-Germain apparut aux contemporains comme « le plus beau de Paris » (Marlet, Nouveau tableau de Paris).« L'amplitude du plan, le fini, le luxe même apportés aux détails tels que la fontaine centrale et les grilles, expliquent sans doute que les travaux se soient prolongés au moins jusqu'à la fin de 1819, alors que certaines parties étaient déjà mises en service » (Bertier de Sauvigny, Nouvelle histoire de Paris, La Restauration, pp. 111-112).Bel exemplaire dans sa condition de parution.

In the preface, he remarked, ""I have used simple terms and a popular style with the intention of being understood by layman and artist alike"" having noticed that recent books about architecture are either badly organised or overlong.""He originally planned eight volumes, but only the first four were published.
