Breezy Glimpses into the Heart of Bohemia
"The author gets at the intimate secrets, the subtle charm of the Quarter. A spirit of gaiety runs through the book."--Phila. Press.
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself"
The Real Latin Quarter
In these captivating and realistic sketches, the reader is taken into the very heart of Bohemia and shown the innermost life and characters in this little world of art and amusement. The author pictures with brush, pen, and camera every nook and corner of the Quarter with such light and vivid touches that the reader is made to feel the very spirit, breathe the very atmosphere within these fascinating precincts. We look down upon the giddy whirl of the "Bal Bullier," enjoy a cozy breakfast at "Lavenue's," stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens, peep into studios and little corners known only to the initiated, mingle with the throng of models, grisettes, students, and artists on "Boul Miche" and in a hundred other ways see and enjoy this unconventional center.
"A True Picture," Say the Artists
Charles Dana Gibson: "It is like a trip to Paris."
John W. Alexander: "It is the real thing."
Frederic Remington: "You have left nothing undone."
Ernest Thompson Seton: "A true picture of the Latin Quarter as I knew it."
A Richly Made Book
Watcrcolor Frontispiece by F. Hopkinson Smith. About 100 original drawings and camera snap shots by the Author, and two caricatures in color by the celebrated French caricaturist Sancha. 12mo, Cloth. Price, $1.20, post-paid.
