When we saw Frédérique, An Exclamation of Admiration Escaped both the Baron and Me
Brooklyn Museum photograph
Object Label
Shinn executed sixteen crayon drawings for the two-volume edition of Frédérique, by the racy and popular French novelist Paul de Kock (1793–1871); ten of these are now in the Brooklyn Museum’s collection. Frédérique was part of an ambitious, illustrated collector’s-edition series of de Kock’s translated works. Shinn, William Glackens, George Luks, John Sloan, and other artists of their circle produced illustrations for the series, which was only half-completed when the publisher went out of business, and the artists had trouble collecting all the money owed them for their work.
