Estampes et livres, 1872-1892
Estampes et livres, 1872-1892 is a Paris catalogue of prints and rare illustrated books compiled by Henri Béraldi and published by L. Conquet in 1892, aimed at collectors and bibliophiles. Its plates show decorated bindings photographed flat: gilt-tooled leather covers, a spine with repeated ornaments, and pale velvet or cloth panels with framed borders of foliage and central cartouches, useful for designers studying ornamental framing and tooled patterns.
