Toussaint studied painting in Paris under Gaucherel and Andre and etching under Brunet-Desbaines. He first exhibited his art at the Paris Salon in 1874 and during the following years received numerous awards, including medals from the Exposition Universalle in 1876, 1884, 1899 and 1900.
Toussaints architectural etchings were as well known in England as in his native France. He was a frequent contributor to P. G. Hammertons, Portfolio, and was invited to etch views in Britain. |
