Dantan’s painting shows the Salon on a normal day, not the opening—one of the many days Jeanette and Effie went back together perhaps. (The 1880 Salon is the very one at which I have Jeanette’s painting of a vestibule in the Renicks’ house hang.) Although I wish I’d seen Salon Corner, 1880 while I was writing Where the Light Falls, imagine how much fun it was to stumble across it after I started this blog!
