View and perspective of Trianon de Saint-Cloud from the garden ('Veüe et perspective de Trianon de St. Cloud du costé du Jardin').
Delineavit and etcher: Pierre Aveline, the Elder.
Plate size: 21,4 x 31 cm.
It is mounted on paper at an early date. It has some restoration on the bottom left-hand corner that can be seen in the picture. It slightly affects the image.
It was engraved by Pierre-Alexandre Aveline (c.1656 -1722), who was also a print publisher and seller. He probably trained with Adam Pérelle and, like him, specialized in topographic representations. He produced many views of Paris and of provincial, European and African cities, mixing etching and line engraving. In 1685 he obtained a royal license for ten years, authorizing him to reproduce views of royal residences.
