Paris Salon 1886 and Grand Prix Report by Bourne
George T. Bourne reviews the 104th Paris Salon opening May 1 with 5416 works including 2488 oil paintings and notes American entries rising to 112. He praises Jules Lefebvre’s prize win, reflects on Detaille and DeNeuville, and comments on Brouureau, Vibert, and Bourgureau. He shifts to the Grand Prix de Paris horse race, recounting a rainy Sunday, empty grandstands, and an English winner, ending with a wry remark on transit and Paris nightlife.
