bright and flippant posters can be seen any day on the London hoardings, and I have, therefore, purposely selected for reproduction two examples in his less usual manner. The "Lucile Wraïm" is of an elegance to which Paleologue does not often attain, and would be distinguished in almost any collection of posters. "The Euskal Jai Parisien," besides being a good advertisement, is curious on account of its subject. Collectors who would possess a more typical example of Paleologue's work would be well advised to secure one or more of his music-hall series or his "Cabourg," an advertisement for the watering-place of that name. It is a large lithograph in five colours, and represents a very charming lady who, while bathing, is bent upon displaying her charms to the utmost. While Paleologue can in no sense be compared to Chéret in his gift of diffusing joyousness and gaiety, his work is undoubtedly "chic," and rarely fails in its first business of advertisement. Some of his posters have become difficult to procure, notably one designed for a Drury Lane pantomime some few years since.
