Exhibited art-works by the ‘impressionist’:
6* of the 57 partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions showed at least 10 maybe even 28* art-works at the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français (=SdAF) of 1896. Including Astruc (1wc); Attendu (1x +1p); Debras (1x); Franc Lamy (3x); Léon Ottin (1 vitrail); Henry Somm (2=20? engravings).
Henry Somm showed some ‘Illustrations des Cousettes, de Louis Morin’. The two catalogue numbers had the same title, but maybe he showed even 20 dry point engravings (iR1).
The art-works will be rendered by form and than alphabettically. Note: several suggestions are uncertain; for many works I don’t have a suggestion.
Note*: I still have to do a double check. I count the number of exhibited art-works, not the amount of catalogue numbers. See also the accounts of these artists (in the left or bottom sub-menus).
