Catalogue illustré
This is an 1879 Paris exhibition catalogue issued by L. Baschet for the Société des artistes français Salon, presenting French painting and sculpture to visitors and critics. Its small sketched reproductions show a seated and standing figure in a wooded setting, a figure carried by a cloaked man beside a cart, a bent figure in a field, and a winged figure falling through a dark sky, offering designers loose, energetic pen-and-ink gesture and strong contrast between dense hatching and open paper.
