----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello - I have q request from one of our students for information on the 19th-century French draughtsman, Bernard Romain Julien, 1802- 1871. He does appear in Benezit and Thieme-Becker, but only very briefly. He is NOT in the _Artist Biography Master Index_ from Gale. There is a short entry on him in _Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers_, probably just lifted from Benezit. I have searched RLIN and OCLC and turned up a couple titles at Yale, University of Illinois, and the National Library of Medicine. I have not checked the NUC. I did a Dialog search of Artbibliographies Modern, RILA (as far as it goes on Dialog), and Dissertation Absracts and found nothing. Can anyone offer additional insight or suggestions? The student says that Julien mastered a certain technique of drawing with cross-hatching, and he's dying to see illustrations of the work. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sara J.
