La Galerie des batailles au Musée de Versailles
Pératé's 1916 Paris guide to the Galerie des batailles at the Musée de Versailles, published by Henri Laurens, reproduces paintings of French military battles for readers of art history. The four photographic plates show mounted commanders amid smoke, wounded soldiers and massed infantry, with dramatic diagonals of horses and banners that a designer could borrow for battle compositions and tonal, smoky backgrounds.
