Notable artists mentioned include Ingres, Delacroix, Corot, Chassériau, and Couture.

It also notes that the exhibition included works by Ingres and Manet and was lent by esteemed collectors like Paul J. Sachs and Philip Hofer.
Stapled to the pages are small, brown-tinted labels from “Press Clipping Service, 2 Park Square, Boston, Mass., C.S.
