* Between 1865 and 1871 “The Drawing Course” (Cours de Dessin) by Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gerome was issued as 170 lithographs, each a separate folio sheet.  

The course starts on an elementary level and gradually increases the difficulty of technical skill required.  The desired outcome was to produce work in a Classical, or Academic Realism style, popular in art education until the beginning of the 20th century.
