Didier Petit catalogue online
Didier Petit de Meurville (1793-1873) of Lyon was one of the major French collectors of religious art of the 19th century.
A partially annotated copy of his sale catalogue: Catalogue de la collection formée par M. Didier Petit a Lyon ... Paris, Dentu, au Palais Royal, (1843), is available through Gallica, and an unannotated one through Google Books.
