 of old magazines will yield many contributions, besides prints and photographs to be had from art dealers. I have seen one interesting collection of this kind in which I noted the following subjects: Meissonier’s “1814”; Wilkie’s Napoleon and the Pope at Fontainebleau; Statue of Napoleon, by Vela, at Versailles; the monument at Waterloo; photograph of the palace at Fontainebleau; photograph of the throne at Fontainebleau; photograph of Napoleon’s tomb in Paris; many miscellaneous portraits of Napoleon, Josephine, and Marie Louise from magazine articles. Jeanne d’Arc is another character in French history whose life has been so fully illustrated that one can make charming collections of artistic material in this line. A friend of mine has such a scrapbook of many treasures. It contains, of course, Bastien-Lepage’s Vision of Joan of Arc in the Metropolitan Museum; Frémiet’s famous statue, the ideal figure by Ingres, and Rossetti’s Jeanne d’Arc Kissing the Sword of Charlemagne. There are besides some subjects from the decorations of the Pantheon: Flandrin’s Joan of Arc in prayer; and by Lenepveu, the Martyrdom of Jeanne d’Are and Jeanne d’Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII. Others are Joan of Arc taken prisoner by Rowland Wheelwright, and Joan of Arc going into Battle, by Lionel Royer. Boutet de Monvel’s fascinating child’s illustrated Jeanne d’Arc is unhappily out of print, but may be seen in large libraries. Two popular pictures connected with French history are the Charlotte Corday of the Corcoran Gallery and Millais’s Huguenot Lovers.
