It is famed as a source of information about Camille and his Impressionist colleagues. However, most of the collection concerns the life and work of Lucien, founder of the Eragny Press. Exhibited alongside paintings by Camille, such as The Cricket Match, an apt subject reflecting the exhibition’s theme of the Entente Cordiale between English and French art, will be family photographs and letters from the archive.  The exquisite handmade Eragny books are the central focus of the display. These are beautifully printed using wood blocks designed by Lucien and cut by him and his wife with a degree of artistry which owed much to the influence of the English Arts and Crafts movement.
