18th Century Architectural Mastery by Neufforge in Engravings, Circa 1770

About the Item

Architectural engravings by Jean-François de Neufforge (1714–1791). Neufforge was a Flemish engraver, architect, and publisher known for his work "Recueil élémentaire d'architecture," an influential collection of architectural designs and ideas published throughout the 18th century. These engravings are part of a series of illustrations that depict various architectural elements and assemblies, including frameworks, trusses, and structural details. They are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and are representative of the architectural understanding and styles of the period. Given the lifetime of Neufforge and the stylistic features of the engravings, they would likely date back to the mid-to-late 18th century. These works are important historical records of 18th-century architectural practice and would be of significant interest to historians of architecture and construction. They demonstrate the complexity of design and engineering thought that went into building structures prior to the modern era.
