Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
SOUVENIR D'OSTIE

1855

About the Item

Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille. SOUVENIR D'OSTIE. Delteil 57, Melot 57. Cliche Verre, 1855. Second State of two, with the signature of Corot in reverse, lower left. 12 1/4 x 16 1/4 inches, 310x415 mm. (sheet), full margins. Corot was an enthusiastic practitioner of the cliche verre technique, producing about 65 images from the 1850s to the 1870s. A cliche verre is made in a manner somewhat similar to a drypoint: a coating is applied to the surface of a glass sheet, and the image is made by scratching through the coating with a tool. Unlike a drypoint though, it is printed like a photograph: the plate is placed face down on a sheet of light sensitive paper which is then exposed to light,causing the image to develop. Some losses at the sheet edges, not affecting the image, else in Very Good condition.
