Know about the book -
Decorative Games is written by Jean-François Bédard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1611490081 (ISBN 10) and 9781611490084 (ISBN 13).
This book features an extraordinary album of ornament designs by the French architect Gilles-Marie Oppenord (1672-1742). For the first time, this publication reproduces in their initial state the embellishments Oppenord drew over the first French edition of Cesare Ripa's Iconologia. In lieu of a haphazard succession of sketches, it reveals Oppenord's fascinating interplay between text, engraved and drawn images, one patterned on the art of conversation and the linguistic games cultivated in elite Parisian circles.
