Paris the beautiful
Lilian Whiting's 1908 travel and art commentary on Paris, issued in Boston by Little, Brown for American readers interested in French painting, sculpture and literary life. The 26 halftone plates reproduce Symbolist and Impressionist canvases, misty river and tree landscapes, and studio photographs of plaster figures, giving soft grey tonal fields, dissolved edges and glowing white draped figures against near-black grounds.
