If you are quick of the eye regarding beauty in this electronic age, you can pick up some little gems of artworks for a few dollars. These little engravings are a good example. They come from the middle 19th century and actually represents the work of three fine artists: Paul Edme Lerat (1849-1892) and the French sculptors Horace Daillion (1854-1937), and Rene de saint-Marceaux (1845-1915). Instant culture, if you please, and a bit of high culture commercialism. Paul-Edme Lerat was a French etcher and the author of interpretative works of other artists in the mid-19th century. He was born in Paris and was taught by Lecoq de Boisbaldran and L. Gaucherel. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1869. This is Lerat's interpretation of Daillion's sculpture "The Reveal of Adam." and Saint-Marceaux's sculpture "Genie Gardant le Secret de la Tombe" . Daillion and Saint-Marteaux produced some very fine public sculptures during their careers.
