add to cart   close window

In connection with its brilliant exhibition of French paintings, prints, and drawings of the nineteenth century, the Metropolitan Museum is holding a charming show of the fashions of the epoch; and amusingly enough an unchanging feature of the fashion-prints recurs to the mind of the spectator as he moves among the works of fine art. The arts exhibit as a whole furthermore represents individualism by giving an idea of the spiritual increase possible to and characteristic of the superior individual, and a sign of his means to the creation of a milieu favoring the survival of his sort.
