Catalogue illustré des ouvrages de peinture, sculpture et gravure
This is a French exhibition catalogue of paintings, sculpture and prints from the Société nationale des beaux-arts, published in Paris by A. Lemercier et Cie in 1890 for the art-going public and trade. The four pictures are rotated halftone reproductions of rural scenes: figures working in open fields, a figure beside a low wall, and an interior with a hearth and seated people. A designer might take from them the loose, painterly tonal handling of late nineteenth-century French naturalism, with figures set into broad landscape and soft light.
