Les galeries publiques de l'Europe
Les galeries publiques de l'Europe is a Paris art-museum survey published by C. Lahure in 1857, written by J. G. D. Armengaud for a readership of collectors and art lovers. Its pictures are fine-line engraved vignettes: a framed portrait medallion under a crown, a religious altarpiece scene with saints beneath a clouded sky, a draped ribbon over sculptural fragments, and an ornate cartouche with diamond-patterned arms, offering designers baroque scrollwork, frame and cartouche motifs.
