Ah! Ah! Encore une critique du Sallon! : voyons ce qu'elle chante

1779 · La Grenade [i.e. Paris] ; Et se trouve a Paris : Les libraires qui vendent les ouveautés · 2 pictures

This is a 1779 French pamphlet, printed as if from La Grenade but sold in Paris, that satirises the Paris Salon art exhibition and its critics for a reading public interested in painting and contemporary art. Its two pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style pieces: a crowded studio still life of globes, instruments, a furnace and tools, and a tied bouquet of roses and leaves above lines of printed text, useful to a designer for ornament, vignette and period tailpiece ideas.
