Devantures de boutiques et installations de magasins : façades et détails, intérieurs, détails de construction, coupes, plans, assemblages
A turn-of-the-century Paris trade catalogue published around 1900 by Librairie d'architecture Ducher fils, showing storefronts, shop interiors and construction drawings for shopkeepers and their builders. The pictures range from a carved wooden shopfront with a central door and gilt lettering to a rotated photograph of a crowded interior with white display jars and a plan sheet with dimensioned joinery details. A designer could take the lettering panels, carved cornices and tiled display fittings as period ornament and signage references.
