Intimate in subject and scale, the pictures represented in this book of postcards are the skilled accomplishments of Monet, Degas, Pissarro, Morisot, Renoir, Seurat, and other major impressionists.

The works reproduced here are of works drawn primarily from the bequest of Ailsa Mellon Bruce to the National Gallery of Art, supplemented by works given by her brother, Paul Mellon, and other generous donors. Modest in size but exceptional in their beauty and subtlety, these paintings afford a glimpse into the brilliant innovation and powerful immediacy of impressionism.
