The art of the Louvre, containing a brief history of the palace and of its collection of paintings, as well as descriptions and criticism of many of the principal pictures and their artists
A gallery guide to the Louvre by Mary Knight Potter, published in Boston by L.C. Page in 1905 for American travellers and general readers, pairing a history of the palace with commentary on its paintings. The plates are halftone reproductions of Renaissance and Baroque canvases—Madonnas, nudes, deposition scenes—with heavy shadow, soft grain and muddy midtones useful as texture and figure source.
