"A series of Shakespeare plaques, which Morel-Ladeuil began during the latter part of his career, seem to indicate that he was begining to express himself more freely; and they go, further to prove that it was in low relief that he was happiest — happiest of all, perhaps, in the very lowest relief" (275).
