Greetings, Pierre Sanchez. Les catalogues des Salons (vol. I-XIV, covering 1801-1886). Paris : Echelle de Jacob, 1999- . 1) What are these? Reprints of the Salon catalogs? Is there any additional scholarly apparatus that makes this set a compelling acquisition - indexes, etc.? Did not see a review on our site (would be a good candidate...). 2) What are your suggestions for sources with good, succinct explanations of the various Salons (Paris)? Best regards, Peter Blank Art & Architecture Library Stanford University __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
