Overview

Excerpt from Goupil's Paris Salon of 1898: One Hundred Plates Photogravures and Etchings and One Water Color Fac-Simile by Goupil Co The Society of French Artists occupies thirty rooms in front, arranged for the exhibition of pictures the National Art Society fills eighteen rooms at the back. In the central space, where the horse show once held its competitions, the sculptors ofthe Society of French Artists command the ground broken by clumps of verdure. Gobelin tapestry, most cruelly exposed to the devouring sunshine, is hung on the outer walls of their galleries. The National Society has scorned the place reserved for its sculptors under the raw light of a glass roof without an awning, and after arranging a considerable number of statues and objets d'art in the picture - galleries, has placed the remainder under a sort of colonnade in the style of Versailles, which produces a not bad effect.
