Traité des arts céramiques ou des poteries : considérées dans leur histoire, leur pratique et leur théorie
An 1844 Paris treatise on ceramic arts and pottery by Alexandre Brongniart, director of the Sèvres porcelain manufactory, written for specialists and manufacturers. The title page is set in a formal mix of capitals and italic lines with a small oval vignette of a seated figure with an urn at its centre, and it offers designers a model for classical, restrained typographic hierarchy.
