Catalogue des estampes des trois écoles, portraits, catafalques, pompes funèbres, plans, cartes géographiques, etc., qui se trouvent à Paris, au Musée central des arts : augmenté des estampes qui forment le recueil connu ci-devant sous le nom du Cabinet du roi, de plusieurs autres suites et estampes qui appartiennent à ce recueil, et non comprises dans le catalogue qui en fut dressé en 1743
This is a catalogue of prints held at the Musée central des arts in Paris, compiled by that museum and published there in 1801, listing engravings by school, portraits, catafalques, funeral processions, plans and maps for scholars and collectors. The two pictures are plain typeset pages of columned entries, with names, dates and print numbers set in tight rows and small ruled tables. A designer might take from them the dense, orderly hierarchy of early nineteenth-century catalogue typography, with its small caps headings, ruled columns and centred section titles.
