thousands of workmen gathered there
bringing new talents and resources with
them Oberkampf was subjected to much
persecution, but France. eventually, was
set free from the tribute paid to other
countries. He had agents IN Germany and
even in India and Persia, to procure in.
formation relating to the secrets Of this
art, and especially to coloriug.
Oberkamrf was visited by Napoleon,
who said: You, as the founder of
Jouy, and | as emperor, carry on an ami

them by your industry, by my arms

of Battle is preferable to mine"
