A Paris auction catalogue of paintings and prints, compiled by P. Defer and published by Aubry in 1865, listing sale prices from 1737 onward for collectors and dealers. The two pictures are only the title lettering, a bold condensed black display face with its wordmark repeated on a pale blue-grey ground, which a designer might borrow for a tall condensed headline.
