Catalogue illustré de l'exposition historique de l'art belge et du Musée moderne de Bruxelles, d'après les dessins originaux des artistes
An 1880 illustrated catalogue published in Brussels and Paris by Rozez and Baschet, compiled by F. G. Dumas with the Musée d'art moderne, reproducing original drawings by Belgian artists from a historical art exhibition and the modern museum. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings printed sideways on the page, showing crowded interior scenes with figures in period dress, desks, arches and draped curtains. A designer might take from them the dense hatched shading and tonal crowding of nineteenth-century Belgian reproductive prints, useful for editorial or historical texture.
