(A) By the artist L. Philibert Gourat, "Perouges, L'eglise et forteresse." Just take in the perspective! Tiny, exacting details -- such as the weathered stones where the ground meets the building -- give this carving its real-life quality. This carving measures about 16 wide, a foot tall.

(B) Another carving by the artist L. Philibert Gourat. This is doubtless how carriage traffic traversed the Alps "way back when..." way pre-autoroute! Carved from a single piece of wood, with amazing dimension, in a solid walnut frame.

(C) Here's a campy decorative painting on glass, both verso and on the viewing surface, contributing an extra bit of dimensionality. Signed by the artist, Revollon. Including the frame, 11 1/2 wide by 13 1/2 tall.

(D) This is one of about 45 plates (pochoires) from a book entitled Nouvelles Compositions Decoratives (1re Serie) by Serge Gladky. Each plate (which appear to be silkscreen prints) measures about 7 by 9 1/2. Inside the front cover, there's a cute inscription from the original purchaser, which is also dated 1930, Paris.

(E) This oil on board, which to me evokes the 1910 naturalist preoccupation, is about 10 inches wide by 7 high (not including the frame). It's signed Louis Tiol (last name hard to read). (e-mail Jack for a price)

    

(F) This colorful painting is executed in enamel on volcanic stone (just to keep things interesting). Signed J. Borel, and having dimensions of just under 15 inches wide and 16 inches tall, in its original and lustruous solid wood frame.

(G) I suspect this is a stone litho and it appears to be signed in pencil by the artist (you'd have to be French to have a clue how it reads!). It's entitled "Gracieuse," thank you very much. Including the gold-leafed frame, it's about 21 by 26. (e-mail Jack for a price)

  

(H) Study of an adolescent (tete d'enfant - etude), oil on board, unsigned, measuring (just the image) 10 inches wide, 13 1/2 high. (e-mail Jack for a price)
