Following the introduction are three essays: Manet's Pictorial Language, Manet and Impressionism, Manet and the Print. Then follows the catalogue - 460 pages. The book concludes with a Chronology; two appendices: Letters from Manet to Zola and Documents relating to the "Maximilian Affair"; Editions of the Prints; List of Exhibitions; Bibliography; and indices.
The catalogue lists 221 works, each accompanied by a commentary, often reasonably extensive, and illustrations. In total there are 323 black and white and 138 colour illustrations, many of them half to full page in size and occasionally including a detail view of the work. The illustrations also include sketches and photographs.
This is a substantial and comprehensive survey with good quality images. (
