Description:
2 volumes. Engraved plates throughout, many folding. With engraved frontispiece by Soubeyran after Cochin filius; with half titles. 28.5x21 cm (11¼x8¼"), period mottled calf. First Edition.
Architectural work by French master architect Jacques-Francois Blondel (1705-1774) on maisons de plaisance, essentially retreat homes for nobles and the wealthy. Extensively illustrated with plates of architecture, gardens, ornaments, and bird's-eye plans. Jacques-Francois Blondel was among the most influential figures of European architecture in the 18th century, and his l'Architecture Francaise earned him an appointment as architect to Louis XV. Believed to be complete, but not collated; sold as-is for the plates.

Bindings a bit rubbed, joints tender, bookplates removed; minor soiling, foxing, marks, a few short tears; overall very good.
