Société des artistes indépendants : catalogue de la 23me exposition, 1907
An 1907 exhibition catalogue from the Société des artistes indépendants in Paris, produced for visitors to its annual salon of independent artists. The single picture is a line engraving of a hand lifting the lid of a wooden box with a printed label reading Fournier Frères Paris, its interior fitted with rows of cylindrical bottles or tubes. A designer could take from it the crisp hatched-line shading and the compact, product-catalogue layout of early twentieth-century French commercial illustration.
