This print shows a page of decorative designs. It’s full of swirls, leaves, and scrolls meant for craftsmen like goldsmiths or clockmakers. These patterns helped workers copy fancy styles quickly. Prints like this were popular in the early 1700s. Wealthy people bought them too, even if they didn’t make objects. It was like a trendy design magazine for the elite. Check out more by Pierre Bourdon (French) at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
