Explication des ouvrages de peinture et dessins, sculpture, architecture et gravure, des artistes vivans
This is a Paris exhibition catalogue of the Salon, listing paintings, drawings, sculpture, architecture and prints by living French artists, issued under the Académie royale and the Société des artistes français. The one picture is a printed title-page emblem: two winged putti flank a circular medallion inscribed with a monogram and Latin-style lettering, topped by a crowned crest. A designer might take from it the symmetrical, heraldic cartouche layout, with angels framing a central roundel and ribbon-like scrolls below.
