label: Description
content: Page printed with two plates. The left plate is the title page, with the text printed in the upper center. Below the text is a grotesque baldachin with putti; all of this is surrounded by a frame of scrolls, acanthus leaves, torchères, mascarons, and flowers. The plate on the right features three designs for friezes or panels, with (from top to bottom): a mask with dragons interlaced around it; a Pegasus inside a winged cartouche, with flags; and a mascaron in a cartouche, with tambourine, grapes, vines, mask, thyrsus, and horn around it. Both plates are numbered, but only the right plate is signed.
