310 EEPORTS PROM THE SECTIONS, 



viz., Maxime Lalanne, of wliom it liad been eaid that wMlst there 

 were etchers of greater power and more striking originality, 

 there was never one equal to him in a certain delicate elegance 

 from the earliest times till now. Maxime Lalanne was the first 

 artist who ever received knighthood for his skill as an etcher, 

 that honor having been conferred on him by the Kiag of 

 Portugal, himself an etcher. Mr. Montefiore illustrated his 

 paper by a very interesting collection of etchiags by ancient and 

 modern artists, including works by E-embrandt, Berghem, Paul 

 Potter, Hollar, Callot, Delia Bella, Landseer, Lalanne, Haden, 

 MiUais, Jaquemart, Appian, Otto Weber, &c. 



An interesting discussion then followed on the merits of the 

 various processes : and before the meeting dispersed, a very 

 cordial vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Montefiore for his 

 very interesting paper, with the request that he would allow it 

 to be published. 



The Chairman stated that, at a future meeting, he hoped, 

 through the kiadness of Messrs. J. Fairfax and Sons, that the 

 members of the section would have an opportunity afforded 

 them of seeing specimens of the process of electro typing which 

 was now largely used in printing.
