Le Beffroi; arts, heraldique, archéologie
Le Beffroi is an 1863 Flemish art, heraldry and archaeology periodical published in Bruges by E. Gailliard, with plates for readers interested in regional art history. Its pictures range from a dense ink sketch of galloping horsemen to engraved metal and stoneware vessels, a portrait bust with a manuscript inscription, and a medieval manuscript page with a decorated initial. A designer might take the energetic figure drawing, the ornamental jug and flask shapes, and the textured gothic lettering as period reference.
