Warren 1908 Paris inscription: inside face mat, graphite: to Fogg inscription: verso of backing mat, graphite: Louvre, Paris / by H. E. W. 1907 label: verso of backing mat, paper, typewritten: Henry James's vision of the Gallery of Apollo im [sic] the Louvre. / We were not aware of style, though on the way to beome so, / but were aware of mystery, which indeed was one of its forms. / In those beginnings I felt myself most happily cross that / bridge over to style constitued by the wondrous gallerie / d'Appolon drawn out for me as a long but assured invitation / and seeming to join with its supreme coved ceiling and in- / ordinately shining parquet a prodigious tube or tunnel / through which I inhaled little by little, that is again and / again, a general sense of glory. The glory meant ever so / many things at once, not only beauty and art and design butn [sic] / history and fame and power, the world in fine raised to the / richest and noblest expression. // Permit me to add; / The very atmosphere of this interior with its walls and ceil- / ing, naturally aged and antiqued, seems to be permiated [sic] as with / a diffused luscious golden perfume.
