Gazette des beaux-arts
Gazette des beaux-arts was a Paris art review begun in 1859 and written for collectors, curators and artists, mixing scholarly articles on painting, sculpture and the antique with reproductive prints. The plates are etchings and outline engravings after sculpture and drawings — caryatids and herm figures in close hatching, a winged genius drawn in pure contour inside a circle — giving designers isolated figures on blank grounds, roundel compositions and convertible line-versus-tone shading.
