building made a poor picture for him
until he had got it we'll associated with
the human figure. He loved TO animate
his scenes with the social movement Of
his half courtly, half vagabondish
world. French life to him was an alb
sorbing pageant, full of action and
color, romanticslly picturesque, and, we
repeat, intensely human. From the
vast, generalized spectacle he proceeded
TO the type, and it would be hard TO
say in which OF the two operations OF
his art he excelled.
It has always been the fashion 10 lay
stress upon the interest of his smaller
plates, the little portraits of roadside
waits and strays. 1t is through these
studies that he has made himself dear
to the literary men. Is there an his
torical novelist say nothing OF
writer's in a dozen other fields who
has not used the phrase, las pct
uresoue as beggar of Callot's"? But
there is really more in his work tnan
the faithful delineation Of amusing or
pitiful or grotesque old models he
got his subjects into some sort OF per-
spective, enveloped them in something
ike atmosphere. Whether he shows US
soldiers on parade, or the crowd around
the scafrold. or rustics fro,icking at the
fair. or the everyday life on the banks
of the Seine, he re-creates, in his
ouaintly dramatic way, the very spirit
Of old France. He had skill, plenty OF
il. He kneg how to draw. Sometimes
his touch is exquisite. Yet the exhibit
ton at the Grolier Club is not for the
connoisseur alone. One does not need
TO be a lover of prints, one only needs
a certain imaginative sympathy, GER
tain interest in the historic past, to
find this collection JOY.
The fruitful activities of the Arun-
del Club have not been curtailed by the
war. a fact of which we are notified in
delightful fashion by the arrival from
London OF the portfolio for 1914. It
contains, as usual. twenty superb pho

"What? Are you still here? Have |

a little difficult to swallow, there may
easily have been some courtly passage
between the King and his painter, suf-
ficient to account for its invention.
Now, what became Of the portrait?
When Palomino wrote the earliest ref

There are figures in the history OF

is in no wise proportioned TO their
exact place in the hierarchy. Such
figure is the old French engraver,
