Art works and publications
Some of his works are on show in museums in Spain. The musée d'Orsay has his marble sculpture of a Chien danois (c.1892) – he also produced a Death-Mask of Berlioz (1884) now held at the bibliothèque de l'Opéra de Paris. He gave one of his works to his relation Charles de Gaulle. Stanislas Lami exhibited frequently at the Paris Salons, including that of 1897, and at the Chicago salon of 1893. In the end his descendants held onto the majority of his works. He died in Paris in January, 1944, aged 85. Stanislas Lami also published an important dictionary of French sculptors, which is still the largest ever dictionary of sculptors. • Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'antiquité au VIe siècle de notre ère (Paris, 1884, 149 P.) • Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'École française du Moyen Âge au règne de Louis XIV (Paris, 1898, 584 p.) • Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'École française sous le règne de Louis XIV (Paris, 1906, 508 p.) • Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'École française au XVIIIe siècle (Paris, 1910–1911, 2 vol.) • Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'École française au XIXe siècle (Paris, 1914–1921, 4 vol.)
