Limited edition of 135 numbered copies on tinted paper (no. 108). Frédéric Henriet (1826–1918), a lawyer by training, abandoned the courtroom out of a passion for the bohemian art scene and became the private secretary of the Imperial Museums. Converted to plein air painting by his mentor Daubigny, he spent his life roaming the forests with his easel, establishing himself as the official confidant and chronicler of the 19th-century landscape revolution. A fine copy, as published, preserved in a later slim slipcase.
