The Représentations géométrales , bound after the Traité des manières de dessiner les ordres (Paris, Clousier’s widow, Pierre Aubouyn, Jacques Villery, Pierre Émery and Nicolas de Fer, n.d.) and Des ordres de colonnes , was reprinted in 1684 with the same copperplates as in 1659 . Bosse’s address was deleted from the title page and the date was corrected. An additional plate was added at the end of the collection, representing an interior courtyard with outside steps. The book was reprinted again in the 17 th century at the presses of Pierre Aubouyn, Pierre Émery and Charles Clousier, then a last time during the next century at the print shop of Claude Jombert.
