content: Title page for a series of seven designs for rococo ornament, cartouches and vignettes of figures and rocaille motifs. The title is lettered in the center within a cartouche framed by gadrooning, acanthus leaves, shell, and c-scroll motifs, topped with a book, and Mercury’s caduceus and winged hat. The central cartouche is in a landscape with a carved base within rocks and trees in the background. A putto sits in front of the cartouche holding a book, while another putto stands with a burin facing the cartouche, writing the title. The address is lettered along the bottom.
