Unfortunately my CDs are stacked up all over the place and so it may take me some time to locate the information you need, but I will keep my eyes open. Hello Monique, I will have a search.

I haven't been able to purchase the CD but am dying to find out where the photographs came from. I study the history of paintings by Théodore Géricault and there clearly is a link to his paintings. So if you have this CD and want to help me please let me know if there is any information on the sleeve. Thanks!
