Note:	Pierre Billet: A nineteenth century painter and etcher Pierre Billet studied art in Paris under Jules and Emile Breton. He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1867 and was a frequent contributor for the following forty years. He was awarded both third and second class medals during the 1870's and 1880's and he also received prizes from competitions in London, Glasgow and New York.
	In both his paintings and original etchings, Pierre Billet concentrated upon scenes of rustic life, particularly scenes of working fishermen and laborers. Les Laveuses, published by Macmillan and Co., London for Philip Gilbert Hamerton's Etching and Etchers in 1880, is a fine example of his art in this genre.
	Today the etchings and paintings of Pierre Billet will be found in the collections of the South Kensington Museum, London, the Luxembourg Museum, Paris, and municipal collections in Lille and Bordeaux.
	*Hamerton's, Etching and Etchers:* The writings of Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834-1894) did more to restore the art of etching as an original and major art medium than any other nineteenth century author. His first book, The Painter's Camp, was published in 1862. He also served as the editor of The Portfolio (1870-1893), a major arts publication dealing extensively with the art of etching. Of his many books the most influential was Etching and Etchers which introduced both artists and collectors to the many creative and technical aspects of the medium. The first edition was published in 1868 and included original etchings by Jongkind, Haden and Palmer as well as late printings of seventeenth century Dutch masters. A second edition followed in 1876, but without any original etchings. The third edition (from which this original etching hails) was published in a large paper edition limited to one thousand copies. For this most valuable publication Hamerton secured etchings from such contemporary artists as Whistler, Haden, Palmer, Israels, Jacque, Jacquemart, Appian, Legros, Unger, Herkomer and others. In total over twenty original etchings were printed for this important 1880 portfolio. It should finally be noted that Hamerton was meticulous in his inclusion of plates for this edition. Each of the etchings selected were in pristine condition, showing no sign of wear or deterioration of any kind.
