The major 'Exhibition of French art 1200-1900' was held at the Royal Academy of Arts between January and March 1932. Though S R Badmin describes this as the 'first' room, it is actually gallery XI, containing XIXth century paintings of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. It is seen from the doorway to gallery X, with the vestibule and galleries I and II beyond. In the same year, S R Badmin showed several of his own etchings in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
