But one day, in Paris, I ran across a dealer who had captured for a song one of the best Florentine bronzes in the Daunt collection a marvellous plaquette of Donatello's. I asked him what had become of it, and he said with a grin: "I sold it the other day," naming a price that staggered me. "Ye gods! Who paid you that for it?" His grin broadened, and he answered: "Neave." " Neave? Humphrey Neave?"
I reckon that was the first automobile built. No; I take that back. It never was a first it must have been a second to start with. I once owned a half interest in a sick automobile. It was one of those old-fashioned, late Victorian automobiles, cut princesse style, with a plaquette in the back; and it looked like a cross between a fiat-bed job press and a tailor's goose.
Among the outstanding things is a plaquette, No. 393, a Satyr and a Bacchante, attributed to Donatello, under the title "Allegory of Spring," which is the work of a master and a very riot of mythological imagery. The neighbouring plaquettes, many of them of the school of Donatello, are all beautiful. We now find the sixth salon, to see Verrocchio's David, of which I have already spoken.
