Catalogue des vases antiques de terre cuite : études sur l'histoire de la peinture et du dessin dans l'antiquité
A late nineteenth-century catalogue of Greek terracotta vases in the Louvre, compiled by Edmond Pottier and published in Paris in 1896 for scholars of ancient ceramics and the history of drawing. The single picture is a bordered floor plan of the Louvre's first floor, labelled with the Cour du Louvre and the Salles de Céramique, with room letters and a north arrow in the corners. A designer might take from it the dense, schematic look of an old architectural plan, with its small lettered rooms, hatched walls and tidy typeset labels.
