Conférences de l'Exposition universelle de 1889
Conférences de l'Exposition universelle de 1889 is a published set of lectures given at the 1889 Paris Exhibition, issued in 1890 by the Imprimerie nationale for a French audience interested in industry, art and science. The four pictures are halftone reproductions of sculpture: a headless classical torso and a fragmentary relief figure, a bust of a man with a close-cropped cap and long hair, and a crowned female effigy with hands folded at the chest. A designer might take from them the stone-carved figure as a study in drapery folds, muscular anatomy and weathered surfaces.
