A Corner of the Palais Royal probably dates from 1886, the year it was first catalogued by Frederick Wedmore (1844-1921) 1 The butterfly signature is consistent with this date. The costumes of the fashionable ladies at left, and in particular the tall hat, somewhat like an inverted flower-pot, suggest this date.
