The Memoirs will be written by authors who have made Art-Biography a special study , and will be illustrated with wood engravings and plates by the new photogravure process so much in fashion , and with these plates great pains will be taken to produce the best results . The interest that is shown at the present time in the works of Corot , Rousseau , Daubigny , and other painters of the Barbizon School , suggests that the first volume should be dedicated to these celebrated men . The beauty of their poetic landscapes and the surpassing excellence of the Angclus and other works of Francois Millet , are now as thoroughly appreciated , both in this country and in America , as any of the works of the Old Masters . Engravings will be given of many of the most celebrated of these productions of later French art . The price of this Series will be the same as before , 35 .
