Le Musée du Louvre : peinture, dessins, sculpture, archéologie, objets d'art
A Paris plate book of 1900 produced by the Société d'Edition Artistique with Paul Gaultier and the Musée du Louvre, documenting the Louvre's painting, drawings, sculpture, archaeology and decorative objects for art students and collectors. The sepia photographic plates show ivory caskets with carved saints in rows of arched niches, a reliquary-style panel, and a sculpted group of figures, offering a designer reference for medieval carved ornament, figural framing and tonal photographic reproduction.
