This page from a scrapbook by French architect Charles Percier, dating from 1795 to 1805, showcases a variety of drawings and prints of architectural designs, interiors, furniture, and other objects. Percier, known for his neoclassical style, used this sketchbook to gather inspiration and record his ideas.
