PLAQUETTE
Club, which figures among
our illustrations, he has ac-
complished a veritable tour
de force by his rendering of
the two mechanics, who are
represented at work on the
cylinders of an automobile.
The plaquette of the King
of Spain is an excellent
and faithful portrait of the
young monarch, and the
remaining plaquette, de-
signed to commemorate a
marriage, embodies one of
those refined allegories in
which the artist excels.

It is very unusual for an
art exhibition to be held
here during the summer, for
the majority of the galleries plaquette
are then closed. Neverthe-
less, we have this year had, in the Cours-la-
Reine, an interesting exhibition of those
arts in which the agency of fire is employed.
Among these arts du feu, ceramic art was
particularly well represented by contribu-
tions from the workshops at Limoges.
Another attractive stand was that of M.
Lachenal, who excels alike in pottery of a
commercial character, and in those small
pieces of ware which find their way into the
collector’s hands. In M. Lachenal we have
an indefatigable artist who has not been
spoilt by successes already achieved, and
who continues to devote infinite patience
and a rare fund of knowledge to the solu-
In the section devoted to engravings at
the Salon of the Societd Nationale this
year, the etchings of Bejot compelled our
attention. His mature technique seemed
here to show still greater perfection. In the
plate called LEstacade, which we reproduce,
the etcher’s skill is more particularly in
evidence. What an unerring hand we have
here, what scrupulous care in working out
every little detail of the work ! And how well
the artist succeeds in putting everything in
position while deftly emphasizing this or that
part of his work ! Infinitely poetic in feeling
is the foreground of this river picture, where
a couple of big barges lie
moored in mid-stream, their
heavy hulls reflected in the
water, while a little distance
off the Pont Henri IV. re-
veals the outlines of its
arches, and the tall houses
on the embankment stand
out against the sky like
geometric silhouettes. A
delightful and incomparable
Parisian landscape like this
might well tempt an artist
like B£jot, whose skilful
burin finds such laudable
employment in registering
for future generations the
transitory aspects of our
great city. H. F.
