Le peintre-graveur illustré (XIXe et XXe siècles)
Le peintre-graveur illustré is a 1906 Paris catalogue raisonné by Loys Delteil, written for collectors and print specialists, listing the prints of nineteenth and early twentieth century illustrated engravers. The pictures are lithographic caricatures of Parisian bourgeois types, shown in plain tonal black and white with a strong sense of stage-like gesture. A designer might take their compact figure groupings, dramatic lighting from doorways, and expressive hand poses as models for editorial cartoons or character staging.
