Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles: Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles
Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles is a French art-history survey compiled by Théophile Thoré, Paul Mantz, Auguste Demmin and Charles Blanc, published in 1875 and held by Heidelberg University Library, with its pages illustrated by engraved reproductions of painters' works. The four plates show armoured figures in a hall, a bearded group with a cat around a seated man, a prison scene with a chained prisoner and soldiers, and a pair of grotesque figures against an ornamental black ground, offering a designer dense, narrative engraving with strong hatching and dramatic lighting for historical or ornamental reference.
