Miniatures persanes : tirées des collections de MM. Henry d'Allemagne, Claude Anet, Henri Aubry...
Miniatures persanes, a 1913 Paris portfolio of Persian and Islamic painting reproductions gathered by Georges Marteau from private collections, published by the Bibliothèque d'art et d'archéologie for collectors and art students. The plates show a framed manuscript page with calligraphic text set among landscape margins, a crowded battle or hunting scene with figures on horseback, a single armed warrior with round shield, and seated courtly figures under a flowering tree; a designer might take the dense, flat layering of figures, the framed text panels and the stylised trees and flowers as compositional models.
