The following commentary on the artists work appeared in the 1905 volume Art in Photography:

M. Georges Grimprel’s work has been seen on several occasions at the Salon and has also been widely reproduced; it is therefore familiar to most English workers and also to a considerable number of the general public who take an interest in photography. Chiefly known for his portraiture and figure studies M. Grimprel has yet essayed, and successfully, other branches of photographic work, his fine harbour study, “Le Havre,” in the Salon of 1902 coming as somewhat of a surprise to his English admirers. Of his figure studies, perhaps “Cigarette,” a graceful and convincing study of a girl enjoying an after-déjeuner cigarette, is the best known example of his method and style of composition. “At Montmartre,” selected for reproduction in the present volume, is marked by those distinctive qualities which M. Grimprel usually manages to infuse into his pictures. (1.)
