Mons. Claude Emile Thiery was one of the founders of the Societe Francaise,--he died at Maxeville on February 3, 1895.

He was born in 1828, studied in the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and was a graceful and humorous artist. He was appointed engraver to the Austrian Court, and was for some time curator of the Museum of Nancy.

An article on his works appeared in the "Archives de la Societe Francaise" for January, 1894, with a series of book-plates he designed for his friend Gustave Droz, and he also engraved several plates for his own books--of these the most interesting was in imitation of a MS. of the Middle Ages, impressions of which were issued with the "Archives de la Societe Francaise" for January, 1895, accompanied by a humorous letter from Mons. Thiery himself.
