France -- Social life and customs -- Fiction; Short stories, French -- Translations into English
⁂ An historical and critical account of the most faithful and physical
presentment of the great Conqueror. By a study of original sources and
researches amongst the contemporary Press, the Lowe Papers, etc., the
writer proves beyond the doubt hitherto existing the English
authorship of the death mask so long a tributed to the Italian surgeon
Antommarchi. The value to be attached to the various casts put up for
sale during the past year or two is established comparatively in the
light of an interesting recent discovery. The book will be an
indispensable adjunct to Napoleonic iconography and a sidelight upon
the “Last Phase” as well.

MEMORIES OF JAMES McNEILL WHISTLER: The Artist. By THOMAS R. WAY. Author
of “The Lithographs of J. M. Whistler,” etc. With numerous
Illustrations. Demy 4to. 10_s._ 6_d._ net.
⁂ This volume contains about forty illustrations, including an
unpublished etching drawn by Whistler and bitten in by Sir Frank
Short, A.R.A., an original lithograph sketch, seven lithographs in
colour drawn by the Author upon brown paper, and many in black and
white. The remainder are facsimiles by photolithography. In most cases
the originals are drawings and sketches by Whistler which have never
been published before, and are closely connected with the matter of
the book. The text deals with the Author’s memories of nearly twenty
year’s close association with Whistler, and he endeavours to treat
only with the man as an artist, and perhaps, especially as a
lithographer.
[A]Also an EDITION DE LUXE on hand-made paper, with the etching
printed from the original plate. Limited to 50 copies.
