Musée J.-J. Henner
A 1919 Paris publication from the Musée J.-J. Henner, a photo-reproduction catalogue of paintings and drawings by the academic painter Jean-Jacques Henner (1829-1905), with an introduction by Léon Lhermitte, aimed at art historians and museum visitors. The sepia halftone plates show reclining and standing nudes, a seated old woman in dark dress, a bonneted elderly sitter, and a full-length study of Christ, all rendered in soft tonal shadow that a designer could borrow for muted, low-contrast figurative work.
