Description of the subject depicted in the print: Commenced in 1506 by Guillaume Leroux, lord of Bourgtheroulde, counsellor at the Exchequer court of Normandy, this truly noble hotel was completed thirty years later, in the reign of Francis I, by his son Claude Leroux, councellor in the same parliament, abbot of Aumale and of Val-Richer. The west facade, that which our engraving represents, is of the semi-Gothic style and very richly decorated. It is above all remarkable for the grace and elegance of its beautiful ogive windows, so picturesque in aspect with their blazoned pediments. Here the visitor discovers mouldings similar to those of the preceding gallery, augmented by a few additional rural scenes. besides this, the flaming salamander of Francis I is seen making grimaces on the central panel, to which is joined, under one of the windows, the crowned phoenix of Eleanor of Austria, second wife to the monarch.
