Catalogue des tableaux, bas-reliefs et statues exposés dans les galeries du Musée des tableaux de Lille
A photographic catalogue of paintings, bas-reliefs and statues in the galleries of the Musée des tableaux de Lille, compiled by Édouard François Joseph Reynart and published by the museum in 1872. Its pages pair a title plate with a mounted black-and-white photograph of each work, several printed sideways. For a designer, the plates offer dense, tonal reproductions of older European painting, with strong chiaroscuro, crowded compositions and dramatic lighting.
