Catalogue descriptif et analytique de l'œuvre gravé de Félicien Rops
A descriptive and analytical catalogue of the prints of Félicien Rops, written by Erastène Ramiro and published in Brussels by Edmond Deman in 1893 for collectors and students of nineteenth-century Belgian printmaking. Its pictures are pen-and-ink sketches of a Symbolist cast: a reclining woman with a bouquet, a figure in a plumed hat, a nude running beside a bird, and clustered vignettes of masks, tombs and dancers. A designer might take their loose, scratchy linework and dense grouping of small scenes as models for decorative borders or editorial spot illustrations.
