Varieties of Leaf Ornament, nos. CCCCLV–CCCCLIX, plate 68 from "Designs for Various Ornaments"

Publisher Dulouchamp British
1801
Not on view
These designs for leaf ornament, numbered CCCLV to CCCLIX were published by Dulouchamp in 1801. The latter was a bookseller who inherited Pergolesi's series of ornament designs published in London between 1777 and 1792 and added to them. The series has no title page, but a prospectus of ca. 1786 described the group as: "A great variety of original designs of vases, figures, medallions, friezes, pilasters, panels and other ornaments, in the Etruscan and grotesque style." The earlier set contains 67 plates numbered 1-66 (two are numbered 56), with designs within the plates irregularly numbered 1-435 (in both Roman and Arabic numerals).
