Connaissances nécessaires à un amateur d'objets d'art et de curiosité
A late nineteenth-century French guide for collectors of art objects and curiosities, published in Paris by E. Rouveyre in 1879 and written by Oppenheim and Ancel for amateur buyers. The pictures are red-brown printed ornaments: a heart-shaped scroll panel, a row of acanthus and fleur-like border bands, and an ex-libris cartouche with a small shield, which give a designer ready examples of Renaissance-revival strapwork and border repeats.
