La comedie parisienne : 188 dessins
A collection of 188 captioned cartoons by Jean-Louis Forain, published by Librairie Plon in Paris in 1904 for readers of French satirical magazines. The drawings are brush and pen line work, heavily hatched, showing couples, milliners, boulevard strollers and domestic rooms in silhouette-like blacks against bare paper, with dialogue captions set beneath; useful for figure poses, period dress, and sketchy shorthand for interiors and street backdrops.
