label: Description
content: Page printed with two plates. The left plate is the title plate of the series, with the text printed at the top of the plate. Below the title is the top of a door, with a richly sculpted pediment that includes a sculpted portrait bust, a vase, an anguiped, a mascaron, scrolls, and brackets. The right plate depicts a door with a divided design with an elaborate sculpted group of angels with horns in clouds, carrying a portrait medallion. The doors and doorframes are decorated with rocaille motifs including lozenges, rosettes, lamb tongue, helmets, cartouches, acanthus leaves, and mythological scenes. The plates are signed and numbered; a graphite inscription below the plate on the right indicates that the design was for the doors of the guard room of the Elector of Cologne.
