An illustrated article by Edith Appleton Standen tracing the printed-print and garden sources of designs on French copperplate-printed cottons (toiles) of about 1780-1820, mostly in the Metropolitan Museum. It covers four designs: the Tomb of Rousseau at Ermenonville with views of Bagatelle, the Strolling Players adapted from Jacques Callot's gypsy etching, Love and Friendship from Mallet-Prud'hon prints, and Riding at the Ring from the Tivoli Garden. Plates reproduce the textiles alongside the engravings, etchings and drawings the designers borrowed from.
