“It was in 1878 that he met Degas in Paris, who was
then engaged with his own researches. The two friends
soon became interested in each other’s work; from
that date Pissarro was to produce, practically without
interruption, his most remarkable plates.”
Lodovic Rodo Pissarro
—the artist’s son, in his introduction to
Camille Pissarro, L’oeuvre gravé et lithographié
, 1922.
