Exposition des primitifs français : au Palais du Louvre (Pavillon de Marsan) et à la Bibliothèque nationale
This is a 1904 Paris exhibition catalogue of early French painting, compiled by Henri Bouchot and Georges Lafenestre for the Louvre's Pavillon de Marsan and the Bibliothèque nationale, aimed at art historians and collectors. Its pictures are halftone reproductions, many printed sideways, of medieval panels and tapestry-like scenes with flat gold grounds, crowded figures, and Gothic arcades that suggest ornamental patterns and narrative staging for designers.
