Catalogue du Musee d'Anvers
Catalogue du Musee d'Anvers is an 1871 museum catalogue published in Antwerp by the board of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts for visitors to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts. Its pictures are close-ups of handwritten monograms, signatures, dates and inscriptions that painters added to canvases, shown as numbered lists of artists' marks. A designer might draw on the mix of looping calligraphic scripts, interlaced initials and scroll-shaped cartouches for lettering and monogram ideas.
