Galerie du Palais royal : gravée d'après les tableaux des differentes ecoles qui la composent : avec un abrégé de la vie des peintres & une description historique de chaque tableau
This is a 1786 Paris engraved catalogue of the Palais-Royal gallery of the Duc d'Orléans, reproducing paintings from the Italian, Flemish, French and other schools by Jacques Couché with commentary by the abbé de Fontenai. Its plates are printed as framed engravings with a titled cartouche above a dense page of biographical and descriptive text. A designer can take from them the formal discipline of a neoclassical engraved plate: a central framed image, a stacked caption block, and dense serif text set in a bordered page.
