Plate from the House Painter's Library , depicting the capital alphabet of the "Egyptian imitation of engraving" model. Designed by A. Botzum and published by E. Thézard Fils in Dourdan around 1900, it served as a reference for decorative painters for the creation of signs and architectural lettering. The geometric design and the shading effect give each character a three-dimensional presence typical of the Belle Époque, combining legibility and ornamental strength.
