«Paul & Virginie: un exotisme enchanteur» is the catalog of the exhibition by Élisabeth Leprêtre and others (Nicolas Chaudun, 2014, 191 pages, in French).
Catalog of the exhibition in Le Havre for the bicentennial of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. It analyzes how the novel Paul et Virginie inspired the decorative arts: plates, fans, magic lantern slides and printed fabrics. Beyond the pastoral idyll, the novel questions slavery and champions the author as a humanist, geographer and botanist.

For those interested in the decorative arts, French literature and the history of exoticism in art.
