Exposition universelle et internationale de Liège 1905 : section française, classe 66 : rapport
This is a French official report on the 1905 Liège International Exposition, section française class 66, written by Albert Besdel and published in Paris in 1906 for the French Committee of Expositions Abroad, covering architectural decoration and ornament. The four plates show an interior staircase hall with twisted marble columns and a painted frieze, an exhibition booth with framed panels, a grotesque-scrolled ornamental design with a seated allegorical figure, and a perspective drawing of an arcaded street front with carved consoles. A designer could take from them the scale of Beaux-Arts interior ornament, the rhythm of paired columns and corbels, and the layered scrollwork of early twentieth-century French decorative panels.
