Description
Giles de Mortain's Les Plans, Profils et Elevations de Versailles
These stunning engravings are from the work Les Plans, Profils et Elevations de Versailles by Giles de Mortain in 1714. King Louis XIV built the Château de Versailles in the late 1600s. Its beauty and extravagance has been known and admired every day since. These wonderful engravings display it grandeur remarkably well. The hand-coloring, which has been recently added by a professional, serves to highlight the beauty of the structured nature of the ultimate French garden. They are on chain-linked paper that measures ~ 25 ¾" by 20 ¼".
