Editor SPECIAL NOTICE. THE FREE PORTRAIT FRAUD. With reference to the Tanquerey- Schneider swindle, editorially noticed in the POLICE GAZETTE of the 28th October, and 18th November, 18118, the following letter from Her Majesty's Ambassador in Paris, appears in The Times of the 30th May, ult. A WARNING. To th" e Editor of the " Times." SIB,— You would, I think, be doing a service to the public by allowing me to issue through your columns a warning in regard to the practices of M. A. Tanquerey, of ' 9, Rue de St. Petersbourg, in this capital, a considerable number of whose clients have for months past addressed to me com- plaints of his breach of contract. The subject has been over and over again referred to in the columns of Truth ; but suffi- cient notoriety has not been given to it to put a stop to the proceedings complained of, which are shortly these. M. Tanquerey requests " prominent people " in England, by means of a type written circular, to forward to him photographic portraits, enlarged copies of which will, he promises, be fur- nished to the senders gratuitously. This generous offer is said to be made solely for the purpose of " introducing our work into England." Those who are induced to send a photograph not only do not receive a gratuitous enlargement thereof, but are pestered to forward the price of a frame and the cost of packing, transit, etc., with- out which, even the original photograph is not restored to them. In many cases additional pay- ments of money have been made by the victims without any return whatever. The Embassy is powerless to help such victims, and consequently I am anxious to give the greatest publicity to the complaints made against M. Tanquerey in the hope that I may lessen the number of those who are credulous enough to respond to his circular, Faithfully yours, EDMUND Monson British Embassy, Paris, May 27. SPECIAL NOTICE.
