Review, in an entertaining account of the work of men like Monnier, Daumier, Mayeux, Gavarni, Forain, Gerbault, and many others. The article inter álin states:-

"English and French ideas of caricature, as we view them expressed in the illustrated papers of to-day, have very little in common, and it would be a waste of time to set up any sort of comparison. With us, however, the caricature is regarded as an occasional diversion; with the French it has become ris essential as the daily newsp per. For every one in England who earns a reasonably good income as a caricaturist, there are probably at least a score in Paris who find the gift a profitable one. Many of them, as a matter of fact, keep luxurious. establishments, and maintain motor-cars. Some of the earlier men found it difficult to make both ends meel. The French have a very keen sense of the ridiculous.

“Curiously enough, personal e ricature was popular to England before it obtained a serious footing in France. Hogarth, who was perhaps a satirist of manners rather than a caricaturist -the real difference between the two is a very fine one indeed-had no alter ego across the channel Champfleury, in his 'Historie de la Caricature Moderns' candidly admits that 'le prem er rai fut un Anglais, un homme puissam- ment organise, un peintre et un moraliste, Ho- garth, le veritable pere de la caricature qui, ce-jour-la, elevee per un grand artiste, pul inscrire le nom de son initiateur a cote de ceux

The craving of the bourgeois for administrative power was chast. ened by the caustic caricatures of a young man who held a miner post in a Government office- Henry Monnier, the father of modern French caricature, and сле of in greatest and mast versatile exponents. Born in 1802. and dying in 1877, Monnier was for half-a- century the relentless satiris of the little weaknesses of Parisian life; always kindly in his treatment of women when they came under his dissecting-knife, he had a rabid antipathy to the blue-stocking; a remorseless enemy of Louis Fhilippe, he would have achieved im. mortality by his one great creation alone Monsieur Joseph Prudhomme, the quintessence of bourgeois self-satisfaction, a pompnus, se rene person, for ever perpetrating mixed meta- phors in the firm belief that they were wit-in short, the French Podsnap. Monnier had at least two friendly rivals in his particular sphere. H. Daumier, who died in 1879 derived his inspiration from other sources.
