Première Suite de dix eaux-fortes 1861 - 1871

"Première Suite de dix eaux-fortes" is a set of ten etchings by the French painter François Bonvin, created between 1861 and 1871. This title page, printed by Cadart in Paris and London, highlights Bonvin's status as both painter and etcher, with the inscription "peintre" indicating his primary artistic practice. The simple yet elegant typography and the emphasis on the title "EAUX-FORTES" reflect the growing popularity of etching as an art form during the 19th century. The inclusion of both Paris and London locations suggests the international appeal of Bonvin's work.
