L'uvre de Ernest Barrias
A 1908 Paris monograph by Georges Lafenestre on the sculptor Ernest Barrias, published by Renouard, presenting photographic plates of his works for art lovers and students of French sculpture. The plates show monuments, relief panels and freestanding figures photographed in pale, even light against plain grounds, with captions naming each piece; a designer could draw on their classical poses, drapery and sculptural composition.
