Galerie du Musée Napoléon
Galerie du Musée Napoléon is a Paris plate book of 1804, published by Chez Filhol and printed by Gillé fils, reproducing paintings from the Musée Napoléon collection for a French audience. Its pages are engraved reproductions of old master genre scenes, showing interiors with figures, domestic bustle, hearth and table groupings, and drapery-framed beds. A designer might take from them the compositional habit of crowded interior scenes with strong light and shadow, shown in small framed plates with captions.
