"The Woman Taking Coffee," with its printed gold-leaf frame, was made
by Louis-Marin Bonnet, one of the most gifted and innovative producers
of full-color prints in 18th-century France. However, the inclusion of
gold leaf in the print was illegal. In this talk, visiting senior
scholar Margaret Morgan Grasselli will discuss Bonnet's elaborate
efforts to conceal his authorship, pretending that the print had
originated in England and had been made by a mysterious artist named
"L. Marin."
