For anyone who may be interested, the Dahesh Museum in New York City has just received its copies of the "Drawing Course", created by Charles Bargue under the direction of J L Gerome. It contains reproductions of all the plates plus additional works by Bargue. It is annotated by Gerald Ackerman.

Many contemporary ateliers are using these plates as part of their drawing programs. I believe that the are only 3 known sets in existence containing all the plates. These plates, as a set, haven't been available in over 100 years.

The publisher is ACR. To the best of my knowledge these books aren't available anywhere else at this time.
