Épitaphier du vieux Paris : recueil général des inscriptions funéraires des églises, couvents, collèges, hospices, cimetières et charniers, depuis le moyen âge jusqu'à la fin du XVIIIe siècle
Épitaphier du vieux Paris is a compendium of funeral inscriptions from Paris churches, convents, colleges, hospitals and cemeteries, from the Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century, compiled by Émile Raunié and printed by the Imprimerie nationale in 1890 for antiquarians and historians. The pictures show architectural tomb monuments with framed inscription panels, pediments, scrolled cartouches, putti, allegorical female figures and skulls, drawn in engraved line with dense lettering that a designer could use as a model for classical memorial typography and ornament.
