A travers cinq siècles de gravures, 1350-1903. Les estampes célèbres, rares ou curieuses
Gustave Bourcard's 1903 Paris survey, published by G. Rapilly, traces five centuries of famous, rare and curious prints from 1350 to 1903, written for collectors and connoisseurs of engraving. The two pictures are a solid black ivy-leaf ornament, a bold silhouette a designer could adapt as a spot motif, and a pen-and-ink drawing of a leafless tree beside a ruined castle, showing dense hatched bark and loose ink washes.
