Mélanges Godefroid Kurth : recueil de mémoires relatifs à l'histoire, à la philologie et à l'archéologie
A Festschrift of scholarly essays on 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 the historian Godefroid Kurth. Its plates reproduce medieval and ancient objects: a carved ivory-like plaque with a seated figure under an arched frame, an inscribed stone fragment with a haloed figure, a heraldic coat of arms, and a Roman planetary vase with classical heads labelled with planet names. A designer could draw on the sculptural relief figures, carved lettering and the stern classical portrait heads.
