Engravings

Several city views, notably from Burgundy

In the engraving shown right, note the indication of major buildings by the placement one or more flying birds over them: one bird over the Tour des Ursulines, two over the cathedral, three over the seminary. The initials APDR signify Avec Privilèges Du Roi. This burin engraving has been hand-coloured—some roofs are covered with blue slates, others are in red to indicate tiles.
