Excerpt from Corot and Millet: With Critical Essays
A man confronted with the array of work in this volume feels it unnecessary to write a prefatory note on the arts of Corot and Millet. It is a volume that explains itself; it asks for no introduction. But the Editor, in issuing it to the public, desires to offer his cordial thanks to all who have helped in its preparation, beginning with the authors, M. Gustave Geffroy and M. Arscne Alexandre, whose admirable essays lose but little of their style in the sympathetic translations by Mr. Edgar Preston. Mr. F. Keppel, after long study of the subject, has written the notes on the etchings of Millet. The collectors who have kindly lent work for reproduction include Sir Matthew Arthur, Bart., Mr. Alexander Young, Mr. VV. A. Coats, Mr. A. T. Reid, Mr. Charles Ricketts, Mr. Morley Pegge, Mr. Alexander MacBridc, Mr. W. Pitcairn Knowles, Dr. T. W. T. Lawrence, Mr. James Arthur, Monsieur Henri Rouart, and Monsieur Leon Bonnat. Much assistance has also been received from Messrs. William Marchant & Co., Messrs. Dowdcswcll and Dowdeswcll, Mr. R. Gutckunst, Mr. E. van Wisselingh, Mr. F. Keppel, Messrs. C. Klackner & Co., Messrs. Braun, Clement & Co., the Socictc Anonymc des Galcries Georges Petit, Messrs. Durand-Ruel et Fils, Messrs. Carfax & Co., the Autotype Company, Messrs. Obach & Co., Messrs.
