This is a 1907 Paris inventory catalogue, compiled by Jean Guiffrey, Pierre Marcel and René Huyghe for the Louvre and Versailles, listing French school drawings in plates of small grey-toned reproductions. The pictures show pen-and-wash and chalk studies of figures, interiors and theatrical scenes, with a designer able to draw on their loose sketched staging, costume poses and crowd groupings for historical or period compositions.
