Duchesne, Henri Gaston, d. 1909 · 1908 · Paris, H. Daragon · 4 pictures

A French book of 1908 published in Paris by H. Daragon, written by Henri Gaston Duchesne, documenting the Place de l'Étoile and the Arc de Triomphe's construction, ornaments and historical events for readers interested in Parisian monuments. Its pictures include a rotated lithograph-like view of the arch with carriages, a small engraved vignette of the arch with two sculpted figures, a medallion-style portrait of architect Abel Blouet, and a bearded man's portrait with a signature, suggesting a designer can draw on engraved architectural frames, medallion profiles and classical monument views.
