label: Description
content: Album of exterior door designs decorated with rococo ornament and motifs. Some of the designs appear multiple times but with slight variations to the plates, in terms of finish and titles. Copies of the series were published by J.F. Chereau, signed by Le Canu inv. and Daumont exc. (1760-90) instead of Mansart and Charpentier. At least one of the plates in this album have had the signatures taken out.
