Catalogue
An 1879 exhibition catalogue from the Société des aquarellistes français, printed in Paris by D. Jouaust, documenting French watercolour work of its day. The pictures are loose pen-and-ink and wash sketches: a rotated street scene with figures and a lamp, a clerical interior with a standing man reading from a scroll, a dim interior with a reclining figure, and a close study of a dark-sleeved arm. A designer could take loose, economical line and wash tonal massing from them.
