Publications nouvelles de la maison Goupil & Cie ... Jean Boussod, Manzi, Joyant & Cie
A Paris publishing catalogue of new prints issued in 1897 by the dealer firm Goupil & Cie, showing reproductions of French rural and genre paintings for art buyers and collectors. The pictures are black-and-white engravings of farm life: shepherding sheep at a pond, a woman tending geese, flocks gathering at a water's edge, and hunters in marsh and woodland. A designer might take their soft tonal hatching, open landscape compositions and figures set small within broad fields.
