ENGRAVING is one of the fine arts and in this beautiful family has been the especial handmaiden of painting. Another sister is now coming forward to join this service lending to it the charm of color. If in our day the chromo can do more than engraving it cannot impair the value of the early masters. With them there is no rivalry or competition. Historically as well as ssthetically they will be masters always. Everybody knows something of engraving as of printing with which it was associated in origin. School-books illustrated papers and shop windows are the ordinary opportunities open to all.

Other collections in our country were examined also. Then in Paris while undergoing severe medical treatment my daily medicine for weeks was the vast cabinet of engravings then called Imperial now National counted by the million where was everything to please or instruct. Thinking of those kindly portfolios I make this record of gratitude as to benefactors. Perhaps some other invalid seeking occupation without burden may find in them the solace
