fall in our way

"If we care to look upon the France of the past century through eyes that note not merely the surface view, but types, characteristics, deep-seated principles, unconscious tendencies, with a clear appreciation of their values and relations, we cannot do better than turn page by page a collection of Daumier's drawings, if by good fortune such may have fallen in our way."

Please tell me what the author means with the blue clause.
