 The Print Departement is pleased to announce the acquisition of representative groups of prints by Michel Ciry and Auguste-Jean Gaudin through the generous gift of Mr. Hiram C. Merill of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who has long since been an interested friend of the Department.The etchings of these young French artistes were honored by the Comité National de la Gravure Française by the inclusion of their work in the exchange exhibition of Contemporary French Prints, which was shown in the Wiggin Gallery during the months of October and November 1952.If one can judge the result of this recent international exchange between our two countries, it would be safe to say that a sense of growing kinship between them has developed with a greater understanding through the graphic arts.
