The style of De Feure, if not so well adapted to poster work as that of some of his contemporaries, is nevertheless very interesting. His most characteristic effort is, perhaps, the "Salon des Cent, 5e Exposition." This design is very modern and very fantastic. It exists in three states--proofs before letters on vellum, proofs on Japanese paper, and ordinary prints. The proofs before letters command very good prices. Amongst the other posters of De Feure is that done for the performance of the singer, Edmee Lescaut, at the Casino de Paris; for the newspaper "Le Diablotin"; and for the "Paris Almanach." In addition, we must not overlook the pleasant little design for the contents bill of a special issue of "To-Day." The posters of Lucien Metivetare of very unequal merit. On the one hand the designs done by him for Eugenie Buffet, in her realistic _repertoire_ of songs, are extremely distinguished. While, on the other, I could point to examples by this artist which are utterly unworthy his talent. Amongst Metivet's earlier works are "La Famille, journal hebdomadaire illustre," and "L'Hygiene." A more recent bill advertises "Les Joyeuses commeres de Paris," but Metivet's talent is seen at its best in the Eugenie Buffet advertisements, two studies worthy a place amongst the best posters which have come from the hands of contemporary French artists.
