Forgeries exist, and have been
sold by the dealers in large
numbers.
The original plates may be
known by a small circle on
the bottom left-hand corner
of the design in which are
the letters A.B. See “Archives
de la Société Française,”
April, 1895, with
which was issued an impression
from the original
copper.

LE KEUX, J. H. Mr. Le Keux,
although of French Huguenot
descent worked in
England all his life, and
died in Durham on February
4, 1896. He is best known
from his engravings for the
architectural works by
Pugin, Ruskin, Wright and
others.
He did a handsome seal book-plate
for himself, and others
for English owners; indeed,
his name is only included
here because its French
appearance might mislead
an inexperienced collector.
