Excerpt from The Etching of Landscapes: With Two Original Etchings Turning now to our Western art, we find that it is, in its beginnings, a kind of graphic description of life, which represents the various activities of man, fighting, hunting, dancing, feasting, with perhaps the most sum mary portrayal of his surroundings. The suggestion of landscape, where it occurs in this early work, depicts the setting, as it were, of the primitive stage where the actors played their parts. From this crude beginning, a long series of inventions and discoveries, of conquered difficulties and acquired experiences, bring us to those rare and jewel-like landscapes which form the backgrounds of the Biblical scenes portrayed by the Flemish and Italian Primitives.

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Landscape Etchings of the Seventeenth Century Many of the etchings which we shall have toconsider were the work of men who cannot be classed as professional etchers, but rather as painters who etched occasionally. The etchings of men who were great artists but not very familiar with the technique of etching often have a peculiar charm. The crudity and the only partial success, from a technical point of view, are often more than offset by the feeling which the prints give that the artist could see and feel more beauty than he was able to express, so that back of the expression there is a sort of reserve. It is the same thing which gives the charm that every one must feel in the works of the great primitive masters.
