Monument Funèbre par F. A. Bartholdi au Cimetière Montmartre (Burial Monument by Bartholdi in the Montmartre Cemetery)
Etching, 1867, 150 x 225 mm., Béraldi 288 iii/iii, B. N. Inv. 214, Sanchez & Seydoux 1867-20. Fine impression on laid paper with good margins, as published by the Gazette des Beaux-Arts in 1867 to accompany an article by Alfred Darcel: "Exposition Universelle - Bronze et Fonte Moderne." Bracquemond could have simply etched the monument and left it at that to illustrate the article, but the Gazette was an artistic publication, not a scientific one, and Bracquemond an artist -- so the treed surroundings are lovingly worked into the composition and we are given a picture rather than an illustration. Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904) was, of course, the French sculptor who created the Statue of Liberty, which arrived in New York in 1885.
