Furnishings and Interiors. The very first fashion magazine, the Cabinet des Modes (1785-1797), had occasionally also published pictures of new furniture or an interior to alternate with the fashions. The Gazette du Bon Ton picked up this tradition, enabling interior decorators and furniture designers to spread their ideas too. Some editions came with supplements consisting of an insert of four or five croquis (sketches) depicting modern interiors:

Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Ionic base ca. 1537 Monogrammist G.A. & the Caltrop Italian This print comes from the museums copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of prints. I
