FARINATI, Paolo. Diverses figures a l'eau forte de petits amours, anges vollants, et enfants, propre a mettre sur frontons portes et autres lieux. Paris, C.A. Jombert, 1736. 30 engravings on 15 leaves.

First edition of a design book by Charles-Antoine Jombert (1712-1784). Added is a small work by Paolo Farinati (1524-1606) with all kinds of figures depicted on the engravings.The rarity is mostly due to the good quality of the plates that the book contains. On the engravings various subjects are depicted i.a. small measured images of antique sculptures with the purpose for instruction, a series of males nudes, views and a couple of heads after Raphael and other artists.
