Catalogue illustré
An 1879 Paris catalogue of the Société des artistes français Salon, published by L. Baschet and held by the Getty Research Institute, collecting reproductions of French painting and sculpture for exhibition visitors. Its pictures are small black-and-white etchings and engravings, several printed sideways on the page, showing rural scenes of figures, trees, water and village life with loose, sketchy hatching a designer could borrow for quick tonal line work.
