Le triomphe de l'art dans la plus belle des peintures de Raphaël d'Urbin, La Vierge della rovere, ou, Notre Dame de la prophétesse
An 1877 Genoa publication by Ph. Casella, printed by the Imprimerie des Sourds-Muets, on Raphael's Alba Madonna, a Renaissance painting of the Virgin, the Christ child and young John the Baptist in a landscape. Its pictures are sepia photographic reproductions of the painting, one circular and one framed, with a printer's device on the final page; a designer might take the compact Renaissance composition, the triangular figure grouping and the soft pastoral background.
