Édouard MANET (1832-1883) is of course a huge figure in 19th/20th century art. He was a French Modernist painter and was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, as well as being a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.

Morisot was of course Manet's Sister-in-law. And this plate was originally created in 1872, but used with cancellation punches in Theodore Duret's "Manet and the French Impressionists" in 1910/12.
