Frontispiece for first number of "L'Illustration Nouvelle," published by Cardart and Luce, in Paris, offering prints by Etching Revival artists. Henry Beraldi, author of Bracquemond's catalogue raisonne, comments that the naked man on the beach symbolizes Alfred Cadart (1828-1875), a leading proponent of the etching revival.
