Galerie du Musée Napoléon
Galerie du Musée Napoléon is a Paris print album of 1804 issued by Filhol, reproducing paintings from the Musée Napoléon engraved in line for a French audience. The plates are black-and-white engravings of old master and contemporary canvases, several rotated sideways on the page, with captions naming the painter and engraver beneath each image. A designer could take their dense crowd compositions, stage-like groupings of figures, and classical architectural backdrops as reference for narrative engraving layouts.
