seem haunted by the remembrance of certain
artists very much in fashion at the present
moment; also the vast group, L Inspiration, by
M. Herbays, one of those numerous disciples
of M. Lambeaux who appear to be unaware
of the fact that their master, years ago, at the
outset of his career, produced works of pure
sculpture, carefully and precisely modelled—
as, for example, the group called Le Baiser,
one of the loveliest things in the Antwerp
Museum. Finally, I should mention the poster
of the Salon, ingeniously designed by M.
Cosyns.

At the re-opening of the Brussels Free
University a bas-relief in memory of the late
Professor of Law, M. Rivier, was uncovered.
The memorial is the work of M. C. Samuel,
the sculptor, and M. Horta, the architect.
It has a very decorative appearance, and is
cleverly designed.

We have pleasure in giving an illustration
of an admirable seascape by M. H. Stacquet.

by Professor Rudolph Mayer, of Karlsruhe, and
if it lacks the wonderful subtlety and grace
of the best medals made in France, it is still
noteworthy as a national keepsake, and will, no
doubt, attain wide popularity.
