Description
72 prints : etching, drypoint, aquatint; 28.4 x 23.2 cm. or smaller.
Summary
Views of Montmartre by Eugène Delâtre, including two different etched title pages, which may represent separate suites, or alternate versions of the same title page. The final series as published appears to have evolved slowly between 1881 and 1891; some material does not relate to the published prints. Subjects include artists' studios, balloons, bees, beetles, butterflies, dead animals, frogs, holly, magpies, moonlight, poppies, storks, storms, and windmills. Later prints reflect a strong Japanese influence. Most prints are present in multiple states, some with remarques or decorative margins. Includes cancellation proofs of two prints.
