Catalogue des tableaux modernes, aquarelles, pastels, dessins, gravure et lithographie ... : dont la vente aura lieu à Paris, Hôtel Drouot, salle no 6, le mardi 16 juin 1908 ...
A 1908 Paris auction catalogue issued by the Hôtel Drouot for its sale of modern paintings, watercolours, pastels, drawings, prints and lithographs, held in salle no 6. The plates here are rotated photographic reproductions of a large painting of an interior with figures and a landscape with trees, plus two repeated strips of black scrollwork ornament. A designer might take the dense, loose foliage of the landscape plate and the symmetrical acanthus-and-flourish border as models for tonal texture and ornamental banding.
