«Paul & Virginie: un exotisme enchanteur» is the catalogue of the exhibition by Élisabeth Leprêtre and others (Nicolas Chaudun, 2014, 191 pages, in French).
Catalogue of the exhibition in Le Havre for the bicentenary of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. It analyses how the novel Paul et Virginie inspired the decorative arts: plates, fans, magic lantern slides and printed fabrics. Beyond the pastoral idyll, the novel questions slavery and champions the author as a humanist, geographer and botanist.
Catalogue of the exhibition held at the Maison de l'Armateur in Le Havre from 30 November 2013 to 18 May 2014; hardback edition.
For those interested in the decorative arts, French literature and the history of exoticism in art.
