Mélanges Godefroid Kurth : recueil de mémoires relatifs à l'histoire, à la philologie et à l'archéologie
A Festschrift of scholarly essays in history, philology and archaeology, published in 1908 in Liège and Paris by the University of Liège's faculty of philosophy and letters in honour of Godefroid Kurth. The plates shown here are coin reproductions and a monochrome halftone of crippled beggars, a subject from Pieter Bruegel's painting of the cripples. A designer might draw on the crisp heraldic roundels of the coins for emblem or seal layouts, and on the crowded, gesturing figures of the beggar scene for dynamic group compositions.
