L'art de reconnaître les styles, le style Louis XIV
A French handbook on recognizing period styles, written by Émile Bayard and published by Garnier Frères in Paris around 1900 for students, collectors and dealers of decorative art. Halftone plates show Louis XIV carved mirror frames, boiserie panels, cartouches, arabesque wall schemes and furniture details, printed dark on grey — usable as silhouette ornament, frame outlines and scrollwork motifs.
