Guide critique du Salon de 1882
A critical guide to the 1882 Paris Salon, written by Saint-Juirs and published in Paris by Le Clairon, reproducing contemporary French paintings and sculpture with wood-engraved plates. The four plates are rotated sideways on the page and show crowded genre scenes, a rough sketch of a tall figure against a pale ground, and a worker bent over a basket of coal, rendered in loose hatched lines and dark masses that suggest studies for a wood engraving.
