History or description: A bronze manufacturer 'of very high eminence'. The writer states that the French were large contributors of bronze to the Dublin exhibition in 1853 and 'it is in this branch of the Art they especially excel'. The writer continues to express how the company has enjoyed a monopoly in the production of such products, through the manufacturer and artist working together, and laments the lack of such collaboration in England in 1853.
