On March 15, 1885, the _Journal Illustré_ published two portraits of the
Goncourts drawn by Franc Lamy, and on November 20, 1886, the _Cri du
Peuple_ gave two others, in connection with the appearance of _Renée
Mauperin_ at the Odéon. We may also note that the medallion of the two
brothers drawn and engraved by Bracquemond for the title-page of the
first edition of _L'Art du XVIIIème Siècle_ appeared in 1875. A delicate
commemorative fancy caused the artist to surround the profile of Jules
with a wreath of laurel.
