Hello Christina,
I can tell you I know the specialist of Le Gray. He studied everything
on him and he just sent me a bilingual book (FR/UK) he wrote on LeGray
and his technique. He is a photographer and uses LeGray techniques. Most
of you already know him probably. He's Martin Becka from Paris. Website
in french : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/martin.becka/index.htm
You cannot find a better specialist on earth. I don't think the
reference of his book is already on his website but ask him.
Cheers,
Philippe Monnoyer
