François Courboin's 1914 survey L'estampe française, published in Brussels and Paris by G. Van Oest, is a scholarly art-history volume for collectors and specialists in French engraving. Its plates reproduce 18th-century French prints, including a dedicatory cartouche, an allegorical oval composition with ornate framing, and a satirical scene of crowded print-shop work, offering designers period ornament, framing devices and the crowded genre-scene compositions of the era.
