A travers cinq siècles de gravures, 1350-1903. Les estampes célèbres, rares ou curieuses
A 1903 Paris survey of engraving, compiled by Gustave Bourcard under the publisher G. Rapilly, tracing printmaking from about 1350 onward for collectors and art students interested in engraving, etching and lithography. Its pictures are small, crisp black-and-white pieces: a stylised silhouette of foliage used as an ornament, and a seated woman inside a ring beside a decorative initial letter, both showing how compact motifs and framed initials can organise a page.
