FOREWORD ^T^HE Museum of French Art was founded in New York in I December, 1911. It is national in its scope and was the first expression in the United States of the Institut Franqais AUX Etats-Unis — a movement started in Paris in June, 1911, by distinguished citizens of France and the United States to promote a wider knowledge of France, her language, her literature, her sciences and her arts. The Museum is the Art Section of the Institut Franeais aux Etats-Unis ; its members have also the privileges of the Science Section of the ''Institute" (The Entente France-America — Commerce, Industry and Science Society, Inc.) and of the Lit- erary Section of the ''Institut" (The French Union). The "Institut" aims to be a center in the United States for those w^ho are attracted by the French language and literature, French drama and music, French science, and by the artistic, natural and architectural beauties of France. It appeals to all those who desire to increase the economic relations between the two countries. The Museum is making collections in the various branches of French Art (painting, sculpture, engraving, numismatics, ceramics, laces, textiles, furniture, etc.) ; it is assembling a ref- erence library covering the Art, Science, Literature and History of France, and a circulating French library of fiction, etc. ; it is bringing from France distinguished lecturers (through the revenues of the John Sanford Saltus Foundation) ; it is furnish- ing free of cost a practical knowledge of French Arts and Crafts and of the French language to workers; it is stimulating higher 7 standards in taste ; it is extending- a knowledge of French music and literature. The Museum is supported entirely b}^ voluntary contribu- tions; it seeks large endowments; it needs gifts for its col- lections and an increase of membership to help defray its run- ning expenses, to which its trustees are contributing; these expenses are rapidly increasing as its usefulness is enlarged. The ''Institut" is extending its work in large centers of the United States as fast as opportunities and its revenues will permit ; it seeks the co-operation of all public-spirited citizens ; it appeals to all friends of France. The Loan Exhibition of the Arts of France which is now offered to the public contains objects from the collections of the life members of the Institute, as well as from other private col- lections of the City of New York, many of which have never been exhibited before. The Exhibition is for the benefit of the Institute's Building Fund. The preliminary floor plans for the Entrance and Library floors of the new building will be found in this catalogue. 9 Rue de la Paix Paris DISPLAY FROM 1 1 TO 1 AND 3 TO 5 BOUE SCEURS ROBES, MANTEAUX AND FOURRURES 13 WEST 56th STREET NEW YORK ^he onlij Rue de la Paix Jioiise in oAmerica 8 Autographs LOUIS XV — Act of donation of the archbishopric of Lyons to sieur Charles Frangois de Chateauneuf de Rochebonne, pair de France, eveque et comte de Noyon.
