One of the links in the article referenced above mentions there were a total of sixty-two illustrations. Only four were by Renoir. The others are from several different artists and a few are shown at Adventures in the Print Trade.

Thanks for the pics and links Dagny. I’d love to have that book. Personally, I prefer the non-Renoir pics. How about you?

I also prefer the non-Renoir pics. That last one of his, where Gervaise is with one of the men outdoors – what a great scene that would have been, but the picture just didn’t translate well. To be fair, I think the site said that they were taken from woodcuts or something.

I’d love to have any pictures, but the only illustrated edition I’ve got of any of them is the Folio edition of Nana.

The Illustrations do seem to be few and far between! Really the only set of illustrations we have here is from L’Argent. A member of the French Literature group, Horvallis, scanned them for us for her old edition.
