Overview:

At the first ‘impressionist’ exposition Louis Latouche exhibited 4 works (catalogue numbers 67-70). At the Salon he exhibited in total 21 works. So he exhibited at least 25 works.
All works are oil paintings (maybe S1880-2142 was an etching). Most of his works are landscapes and marines .
No less than 19 works have an indication of place: 12x of Berck (Pas-de-Calais; about 150km north of le Havre; 1874 onwards), 4x of Asnières (Île de la Grande-Jatte; in 1870, 72, 73; north-west of Paris), 1x of Saint-Ouen (1868; north of Paris), 1x of Paris (1874) and 1x of Cayeux (1876; south of Berck).
7x Latouche gives an indication of time, season or weather. He never exhibits a study. None of the works are a loan.

In 1873 at the Rue de la Tour-d’Auvergne, 11 (note the number 12 in the next years; was this an erratum?; iR1)
