FAGEROLLES PERE, a manufacturer of zinc objects of art who lived in
a gloomy old house in Rue Vieille-du-Temple. His workshop was on the
ground floor, above it was a warehouse, and still higher, facing a
courtyard, were the rooms in which he lived with his son Henri. He
intended to bring up Henri as a designer of ornaments for his own trade,
and when the boy showed higher ambitions, taking to painting proper and
talking about the School of Art, there were quarrels, blows, a series of
falling-outs and reconciliations. Even when the young man had achieved
some success, the manufacturer of artistic zincwork, while resigned
to letting him have his will, treated him harshly, like a lad who was
spoiling his career. Later, in the desire of a decoration for himself,
the merchant forgot his former opposition; he held out his son, who
had now arrived at notoriety, as an additional claim for his own
distinction. L'Oeuvre.
FAGEROLLES (HENRI), son of the preceding. In the gloomy house of his
father he grew up like a true child of the Paris pavements.
