366 this artist did for "St. Paul's" is very difficult to meet with; it will doubtless be among the most valuable of Mr. Hardy's designs. Mr. Beardsley's "Avenue" poster is quoted neither by Mr. Bella nor M. Sagot, and it may therefore be concluded that it is almost impossible to obtain it. The other posters of this designer are steadily increasing in value, and are eagerly sought for by collectors on both sides of the Channel. Mr. Greiffenhagen’s "Pall Mall" poster, which has met with much success abroad, is worth about half a sovereign. The dainty little bill which Mr. Wilson Steer did for the exhibition of his paintings at the Goupil Gallery fetches about the same amount, and is rapidly becoming scarce. It is pleasant to think that the early efforts of English artists are welcomed by French collectors as enthusiastically as the masterpieces of French artists by collectors in England.

The poster is obviously difficult to collect, because of its size. Not all of us are proprietors of such an immensity as the Chicago Exhibition. Most of us, on the other hand, could paper a room with posters of Lautrec alone. Everybody, however, can put the smaller bills into a portfolio, while the larger ones may be mounted as ordinary school maps. The collecting of pictorial posters needs nothing more than a little heroism.
