BRUS SELS.—
This year is the
first occasion
upon which a
special section in an
International Exhibition
has been devoted to the
art of the medal, and
much praise is due to
M. de Witte and to the
Vicomte de Jonghe for
having organised the sec-
tion at the Palais du
Cinquantenaire dealing
with this subject, and
which has all through the
summer enjoyed such
lively success. It is not
my province here to speak
of the very interesting
display of medals from

always so much character
and humour. He is par
excellence the painter of
the Dandy, of his modish
ways, of his elegance, to
such an extent that one
can imagine him as hav-
ing been the friend of
Brummel, Lord Seymour,
Eugene Sue, of Count
d'Orsay or of Barbey
d'Aurevilly. The life of
Beau Brummel has
always had particular
fascination for him, and
when M. Roger Boutet
de Monvel wrote his
book upon Brummel,
Bernard Boutet de
Monvel executed for him
some exceedingly fine
plates such as the one
which we here repro-
duce. The artist has

also done for the various drawing by Bernard boutet de monvel
