Le salon
Le salon is a 1908 illustrated catalogue published in Tournai by Vasseur-Delmée, documenting the exhibitions of the Cercle artistique de Tournai for an audience of art lovers and collectors. The pictures are halftone reproductions of modern paintings: a smithy interior with a horse being shod, a gallery wall of framed pictures, a thatched cottage yard with a woman at a washing mangle, and a seated woman sorting fish or cloth, rendered in soft tonal greys a designer could use for muted, naturalistic period imagery.
