Auguste Rodin s Dry Points
of which the artist, in the
course of his walks, loves
to grasp the city's minutest
expression, its smallest
artistic aspect. He never
tires in his love of this
beautiful Paris, but unceas-
ingly portrays it in its most
diverse moods and forms.
With the assistance of a
process which is indeed an
invaluable auxiliary to his
art, he shows us in masterly
fashion the Paris of to-day ;
and, while working for the
present, he is doing even
more for posterity by pre-
serving in an attractive form
the aspects of the city.
