Rezensionen

'... Waller's Herculean work in the archives is palpable... Waller thereby finds that rare thing, a research topic in French nineteenth-century art previously left comparatively untouched by scholars, making her book an invaluable contribution to the field.' French Studies

'Waller's study [...] includes numerous illustrations, which make a welcome addition to the literature on this subject... this book contributes valuable insights to the social history of art. It contextualizes the bodies portrayed in paintings and sculpture and introduces myriad questions and issues for further investigation.' Journal of Modern History
