An 1897 Paris auction catalogue issued by Galerie Georges Petit with expert Paul Chevallier, listing Barbizon and Impressionist paintings, pastels, drawings and bronzes from the Henri Vever collection for bidders and dealers. The plates are soft-focus monochrome photogravures of landscapes and figure studies, heavy in soot-black foliage and pale skies, useful for smoky tonal textures, silhouetted treelines and grainy atmospheric backgrounds.
