"But if again that angel train And golden head come back to me To bear me to eternity My watching will not be in vain." "The first verse I ever wrote. 1878. Eugene Field."

174 Joseph Medill.

Etching by H. Taylor, Jr., of a portrait about half life size, of the late publisher and editor of the Chicago Tribune.

175 In a Louisiana Bayou.

By T. R. Manley, after an oil painting by Joseph Jefferson. Signed proof. Etching of a shallow stream winding its way between overhanging trees and swamp growth.

176 A Breezy Day, Dordrecht.

An original etching from nature by C. A. Piatt, an American painter-etcher.

Through the medium of line and the etcher's craft, the artist has translated the stirring feeling in the atmosphere and brought the breeziness into his treatment of the water, the shipping, and the sky.

177 A Country Road.

Original etching by Hamilton Hamilton. The road is bordered by ranks of tall trees which

meet overhead in an archway forming an avenue of dignified beauty.

Mr. Hamilton is one of the early American etchers, practicing his art since the first half of the nineteenth century.

178 The Loving Cup.

Stipple engraving by Joseph B. Pratt after painting by Seymour Lucas.

179 Birds of a Feather.

Etching by Robert Ardail after picture by Talbot Hughes.

This tableau in an English inn of the past century suggests the romance of an elopement wherein the post-boy is an accessor)' to the adventure of the lovers.

180 Landscapes.

Three miniature etchings (in a single frame) by W. C. Bauer after pictures by H. Cassiers. Remarque proofs.

181 Darby and Joan.

Etching by W. H. Boucher after Walter Dendy Sadler's leading painting shown in the Grosvenor Gallery exhibition of 1889. In it Mr. Sadler sympathetically and poetically dealt with the

happier autumnal aspects of human life. The motto is F. E. Weatherley 's verse:— "Darby dear, we are old and gray,

Fifty years since our wedding day;

Shadow and sun for every one

As the years roll on." The picture represents a dining-room of the Queen Anne period where a comely old gentleman, the Darby of the composition, sits at table with his still handsome and now venerable Joan. In the background in a panel in the wainscot is the portrait by Gainsborough, of Darby as a young man in his ancestral park. In the corresponding panel, Joan is to be seen as a young lady, as she sat for Gainsborough. The background of "Darby and Joan" was found in the house of Mr. Charles Green, the artist.

The original painting of "Darby and Joan" belongs to James Ashby. The etching was made by W. H. Boucher for L. H. Lefevre and is the fifth in the series of plates engraved for that publisher.

182 The Bagman's Toast.

An etching by W. H. Boucher after a painting by W. Dendy Sadler. The feasting tradesmen gathered about the table in the quaint room of an old inn are drawn with truth, animation, and dexterity. The spirit of the composition carries

its feeling with cheering force to the mind of the observer. The details of the picture are
