Furthermore it served as an example for the arts of drawing, painting, engraving, sculpturing, architecture and as a major and very important source for the laying out of gardens, parks and estates. Few of the engravings represent maps and 4 of the parts (III, IV and VII -2 parts-) are preceded by a beautiful engraved front.
