La vérité : critique des tableaux exposés au Sallon du Louvre en 1781
La vérité is a 1781 French pamphlet of art criticism reviewing paintings shown at the Salon du Louvre, published in Paris under a false Florence imprint for readers of new books and art. Its pictures are small black-and-white engravings and woodcut-style tailpieces: a scrolled cartouche with flowers, a laurel-wreath panel, a shelf of books with a snake and a bird, and a finely hatched engraving of a writer at a window desk, useful to designers for ornamental borders and cross-hatched shading.
