L'Institut : l'Académie des Beaux-Arts et l'École des Beaux-Arts
A French book of 1860 by Antoine Etex, published in Paris, on the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the École des Beaux-Arts, written for readers interested in French art institutions. Its single engraved picture is a classical allegory: a laureled bust on a plinth inscribed 'Art, Travail, Liberté', surrounded by a palette, brushes, a scroll, and a sculptor's tools, a neat model for a crest or emblem layout built from arranged objects.
