Histoire des beaux-arts, 1800-1900 : peinture, sculpture, architecture, mèdaille et glyptique, gravure, arts décoratifs, en France et à l'étranger
This is a French survey of art history from 1800 to 1900, compiled by critic Léonce Bénédite and published in Paris by E. Flammarion in 1909, covering painting, sculpture, architecture, medals, prints and decorative arts in France and abroad. Its plates reproduce period paintings and prints in grey halftone, showing interiors with figures, domestic scenes and a formal portrait, so a designer can draw on their compositional framing, tonal range and the way light falls through windows and doorways.
