Then I don't know. Commissioned to produce paintings for the Association?
The Paris Exhibitions were held every 11 years until 1900. Looks to me like that that number ends in 8, so that would be 1878. Pretty sure it's...

Looking at asking prices online for other Webb mezzos, it doesn't seem unreasonable.
