Jacquemart, Jules Ferdinand Travel Memories. Etching on sturdy handmade paper. 23.9 x 34 cm. 1862. Gonse 329 III, Goncourt: Estampes modernes, 1897, p. 26, Béraldi 329, IFF from the 31st edition. Inscription. The image depicts shoes of various styles, carelessly tossed aside and partly worn out. A painter’s palette with brushes, a cloth, and a roll of drawing paper make it clear that this is likely the artist’s own studio. In fact, Jacquemart was a fanatical collector of footwear. He was the proud owner of a collection of over three hundred pairs from a wide variety of origins and eras, which was exhibited at the Musée de Cluny in Paris in 1880 after its official acquisition by the French government. From the edition for the Société des aqua-fortistes, bearing the drystamp of the publishers A. Cadart & Luquet (Lugt 424). Excellent print with a wide margin, full on three sides. Slightly soiled and creased in the white margin; one wormhole at the bottom; isolated spots; otherwise in very good condition. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
