Miniatures arméniennes: vies du Christ, peintures ornementales (Xe au XVIIe siècle), 68 planches en phototypie, et 8 figures dans le texte explicatif
A 1913 Paris photographic plate collection by Frédéric Macler, published by P. Geuthner, reproducing Armenian manuscript illuminations from the tenth to seventeenth centuries, mainly scenes from the life of Christ and ornamental decoration for a scholarly audience. The plates are grey halftone photographs of full pages, showing haloed figures in flat architectural settings, arched frames, and dense interlace borders beside Armenian script. A designer might take the stylised frames, interlaced knotwork and rigid symmetrical figure groupings as sources for pattern and layout.
