Exhibition of drawings and etchings by Claude le Lorrain
This is a catalogue of drawings and etchings by the seventeenth-century French painter Claude Lorrain, issued in London in 1872 by the Burlington Fine Arts Club, a private exhibiting society, for collectors and connoisseurs. Its two pictures are decorative headpieces: a title banner with scrolling foliage around a central medallion, and a symmetrical ornament of acanthus scrolls holding a vase, a lamp and a book. A designer could take from them the interlaced scroll-and-leaf layout and the centred, mirrored arrangement used for period title pages.
