Catalogue of an exhibition of etchings by Auguste Lepère : Frederick Keppel & Company, New York, March 7th to April 1st, 1922
A 1922 exhibition catalogue from Frederick Keppel & Company in New York, listing etchings by the French printmaker Auguste Lepère, who died in 1918. The picture shows a decorated initial letter A with a fine line border, its interlaced foliage and figures set beside the opening word of the text. A designer might take from it the idea of an ornamental capital built from scrolling vines and small creatures within a framed square.
