Set of Two Antique Architecture Prints of Wall Niches

Set of two architecture prints depicting the design and decoration of wall niches. These prints originate from 'Recueil Élémentaire d’Architecture' by Jean-Francois de Neufforge. A comprehensive series of architectural studies of facades, exteriors and interiors of French and other Continental architecture. Detail studies include doorways, pediments, windows, fireplaces, fences, gates, columns, stairways, vases, and interior paneling. Some of the designs include floor plans in the lower portion, while others are solely floor plans. The work includes a variety of architectural styles, notably the neoclassical style that became popular when these were produced, during the second half of the 18th century.
