quality which in literature and art we call style.”
Besides attaining to expert knowledge of every
kind of instrument ever devised for the gentle art
of the etcher, and of endless inks and papers, the
subject of this sketch has acquired widely recog-
nized proficiency as a printer of plates. As is well
known, successful printing has always been the
bane and bugbear of the aspiring etcher, and few
men have bestowed such pains in experiment and
at the same time gotten such splendid results. A
very strong personality, excessive modesty and a
keen sense of humor, which breaks out periodically

in the press, are earmarks by which we recognize
the man and his work. Added to which he is a
fervent sportsman with gun and rod and a good
raconteur.
Visitors to the Brown-Robertson Galleries, New
York, 707 Fifth Avenue, will be able this month
to take in an exhibition of this artist’s work,
when they will be able to see a fine assortment
of plates showing piquancy of light and shade,
felicity of subject matter, clarity and caressing
contours, brilliant tonal contrasts synthetised
with unaffected simplicity.
