Façade of the Hôtel de Jars, Paris
by MANSART, François, Engraving
During the period of 1640-45 Mansart built a series of private houses in Paris, some of which survive and some of which are known from engravings. In the H�tel de Jars, begun in 1648, he made an important innovation in planning.
The engraving depicting the fa�ade facing the court is from the Petit Marot (c. 1659) by Jean Marot.
