Réponse au rapport sur l'Ecole impériale des beaux-arts adressé au Maréchal Vaillant
This is an 1863 Paris pamphlet by the painter Ingres, a reply to a report on the Imperial School of Fine Arts addressed to Marshal Vaillant, published by Didier for readers interested in academic art education. The three pictures are the same ornate cartouche: a central monogram flanked by putti, scrolls and foliage in fine line engraving, with the publisher's Quai des Augustins address printed below in the third, so a designer might take its symmetrical rococo framing and cherub motifs as a model for decorative title panels.
