Catalogue de tableaux et études par Corot composant la Collection Prévost : dont la vente aura lieu Hôtel Drouot, salle no 5, le mardi 24 mai 1887 ...
This is a Paris auction catalogue of 1887 from the Hôtel Drouot, listing paintings and studies by Corot from the Prévost collection for sale to collectors and dealers. Its pages are reproduced as small etched or engraved plates of Corot landscapes, one plate per page, grouped in sets of photographic-style reproductions. A designer could take from them the soft tonal values, feathery tree masses, and quiet pale skies typical of Barbizon-era landscape prints.
