| Le Balcon du Cercle de la Rue Royale, by James Tissot, 1868 |
p 481 | The Rue Royale was an exclusive men's club, not snooty enough for Saint-Loup's family, whose father had been president of the Jockey Club, since Jews were occasionally admitted (see Charles Haas, far right). From left to right: Comte de La Tour-Maubourg, Marquis de Lau, Comte de Ganay, Comte de Rochechouart, C. Vansittant, Marquis de Miramon, Baron Hottinguer (former owner of the painting), Marquis de Ganay, Gaston de Saint-Maurice, Prince de Polignac, Marquis de Gallifet et Charles Haas (standing on the step, not quite in... Haas was the main model for Charles Swann).
