Description:
- This incomplete manuscript consists of four columns of text over both sides of a sheet. It is apparently the last page of a larger text, since it begins without a title or introduction and ends with a signature. The document discusses changes to the harbour at Fano. It makes reference to accompanying drawings (not included).

DR1990:0047:001-020
Description:
The etchings in this set include designs for various parts of architectural orders including column bases, capitals, and entablatures. There is some overlap with prints in Du Cerceau’s 'Détails d’ordres antiques' (notably elements on Plates 007 and 011), however most of the etchings include novel elements drawn from the type of ornament in use in works produced by the First School of Fontainebleau such as armor, musical instruments, and fruit. In purportedly representing architectural elements drawn from antiquity, Du Cerceau introduces a high level of variation and innovation. Some of these details are whimsical, for example a small detail of a dog on the entablature of Plate 002. Each plate is organized to accommodate the greatest number of variations possible. For example, Plate 12 includes two friezes, one with a series of musical instruments and the other with instruments of war – suggesting that the designs could be adapted to suit each patron’s particular interests.
