“I’ve worked all these days on my etchings. I have
made two new ones and retouched two old ones
which have not yet been exhibited. I’m sending them
to you so that you can have Delâtre pull the trial
proofs. See to it that he makes one proof of each and
that it’s as fine a proof as possible, let him take
particular pains with the sky in the little
Port of Rouen
which I reworked.”
Camille Pissarro,
in a letter to his son Lucien, 1885
