graphical character selected, which ought
to agree with the style and the period of
the work, but in so decorating and illustra-
ting it that all these elements combine
intimately to produce a harmonious whole.
M. Henri Focillon has very rightly em-
phasised these exceptional merits in his
preface to the “ Catalogue des Livres de
Leon Pichon." How much I regret being
unable to dwell upon such real works of
art as M. Pichon's editions of “ Daphnis
et Chloe,” the “ Odes en son honneur ''
of Verlaine, 41 Les plus jolies Roses de
l'Anthologie grecque," all illustrated by
Carlegle ; the “ Gargantua '' of Rabelais,
“ Les Chansons de France/' the Book of
Genesis and “ Le Doctrinal des Preux,"
illustrated by Hermann Paul ; u Les
Folies Francises," with drawings by
Maxirne Dethomas ; or the “ Ballade de
la Geole de Reading " (Wilde), illustrated
by Daragnes, as well as others which,

like the books cited, are perfect from all
points of view. 0000

In conclusion, I may mention that M.
Pi chon has, in collaboration with M.
Carlegle, just designed and cut a new
fount of type which he calls le Dorique.
Here again he has given proof of his rare
taste and of that technical knowledge
and fine culture without which no one
can ever be a true artist, whatever his
speciality. 0 0 G. Mourey.
