Six Vues de L'Acropole. by LABOUREUR, Jean-Emile.

Laboureur never finished this project. He intended to execute six etching showing the Acropolis from a distance, with various Greek landscapes in the foreground. Ultimately he only produced 5 etchings with an etched prospectus, all here.
The editions printed were tiny and the limitations mean that only 3 complete sets could exist. Set 2 has been broken up and individual prints have been sold at auction. Set 3 is in the Bibliotheque Nationale. This is the only possible set which can be owned privately.

Provenance: Alphonse Lotz-Brissonneau, the artist’s important early patron.
