Catalogue illustré
This 1879 Paris catalogue, published by L. Baschet for the Société des artistes français, reproduces exhibited French works as small black-and-white prints, many shown rotated on the page. The pictures are fine-line etchings and drawings of genre scenes, landscapes with bare trees, and a seated portrait, giving a designer compact examples of nineteenth-century French etching and pen-line hatching for tonal reference.
