Les statues de l'Hotel de ville
A French book of 1892 by Georges Veyrat and Jules Claretie, published in Paris, presenting the statues decorating the Hôtel de ville, aimed at readers interested in Parisian civic architecture. The engraved pictures show standing stone figures on plinths, rendered in fine crosshatched line with long coats, cloaks, and period dress, giving designers a clear model for dense hatching to suggest fabric folds and sculptural volume.
