Gazette des beaux-arts
A French art review founded in Paris in 1859 and issued for collectors, critics and connoisseurs, carrying essays on painting, engraving and the sale room. The plates are reproductive line work — etchings and wood engravings after old masters and contemporary pictures, plus head studies, ornamental panels and shield-shaped compositions with hatched grounds — useful for dense crosshatch texture, framed vignettes and heraldic outlines.
