Gems of modern Belgian art. A series of carbon-photographs from the pictures of eminent living artists
A London art volume of 1872 by William Bell Scott, published by G. Routledge and sons, reproducing contemporary Belgian paintings as carbon photographs for an educated English audience. The pictures are sepia plates of genre scenes, with crowded interiors, costumed figures and bookish rooms, showing how tonal massing and figure grouping organised a picture before colour.
