International studio (46.1912)

Exhibition of the French Institute

THE LUXEMBOURG FOUNTAIN BY GUSTAVE GREUX


“Vieux Paris,” a side-show attraction on the
“Pike.”
The prints on show in the galleries of the
National Sculpture Society completed the pic-
ture, giving a view of three characteristic sec-
tions of Paris at three different epochs.
For purposes of easier identification Mr. Poete
grouped the prints portraying the aspects of
the capital into three divisions. The left bank
of the Seine, the right bank, and the small island
between, where the Paris of the thirteenth century
was confined.
There were nearly 500 engravings, etchings and

lithographs on exhibition, some of them, from an
antiquarian point of view, priceless.
Among the engravings were works by Marot,
Aveline, Israel Silvestre (1658), Meryon, Cho-
carne, Thomas Girting, Rigaud, Perelle, Ber-
thault, Nee, Mariette, Manesson-Malet, Chas-
tillon, Probst, Varin, Ransonnette, Devilliers,
Trimolet and Leguay.
The lithographs were signed by such names as
Raffet, Bachelier, Gavard, Schotter-Boys, Hinely,
Langlume, Violle, Fugelmann and Delpech, while
the etchers were represented by Flameng, Martial,
Greux, Delanney and Mitchell.
