Very rare annual report of the ''Société Française des Amis des Arts'' The society was founded in 1885. Its main aim was to promote French art and especially the official French ( Parisian) fine arts Salon. Each year they organised a lottery among their members ( in 1907 they numbered ca. 650). The Society acquired at the 1907 Salon only 20 works of art which were put up for a raffle among their members. This publication gives a complete list of its members and a detailed report of the result of the lotery. Printed in a resticted number of copies. Among the patrons we find C. Bouguereau , Raymond Poincaré , Baron de Rothschild, Victorien Sardou, Ed. Détaillé. (* the French National Library has only similar reports for the year 1885 -> 1895 ), it lacks all later publications). The year 1895, 1896, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1903 are nowhere to be found ( Worldcat July 2019). If you order all the available 8 years ( 1888, 1898, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1907, 1909 and 1910) the total price would be 3000 Euro.‎
