Millet, La Bouillie

La Bouillie (Pap or Pabulum)

Etching, 1861, 187 x 159 mm., Delteil 17 v/v, Melot 17 v-vi/vi. A fine, luminous impression in brown on tan chine-appliqué with large margins, apparently as published in Roger Marx's Étude sur l'École Française in 1903. The plate has been cut vertically to 187 mm., but the quality of impression seems better than most fourth states. Edge tears, surface abrasions and a corner loss, all in the support sheet.
