OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



"We have received these etchings, which are entitled : (T) 'They're away'; (2) 'A Quiet 

 Shot ' ; (3) ' A Running Shot ' ; (4) ' He's very Sick ' ; (5) ' Greallach ' ; and (6) ' Returning.' We 

 have never seen more truly inspiriting shooting pictures. One breathes the mountain air when looking 

 at those etchings, and Mr. Winans must be congratulated for the striking lifelike scenes he has 

 depicted. 'They're Away' is simply marvellously good a remark which fully applies to 'A 

 Running Shot,' possibly the best illustration of Deer we have ever seen. If they meet with the 

 success they deserve, very few sportsmen's homes will be without them, for never has such an 

 artistic and sportsmanlike series been published before." Shooting Times. 



" .... Mr. Winans is evidently a true sportsman, practically conversant with the subjects he 

 seeks to represent. His treatment of them differs in many respects from that usually adopted by 

 painters of inferior experience. For example, he has not put in the conventional hounds, as he 

 has found that they do more harm than good, frightening all the deer off a beat when let loose 

 after a wounded stag. Mr. Winans makes his ' gun ' stalk the deer himself, instead of letting 

 the forester or gillie do all the work, except shooting, as is the practice of too many sportsmen 

 now-a-days. He has also throughout all the pictures aimed at drawing the real action of 

 animals whether walking, trotting, galloping, or leaping. The scenery is picturesquely 

 diversified .... "Mo> ning Post. 



"Owing to the inaccessibility of their haunts, it has been practically impossible for painters 

 to reproduce on canvas these animals with a true fidelity to nature, and some of even our 

 greatest artists have failed to correctly portray the ' monarch of the forest ' as he appears on 

 his native heath. The exceptional facilities which Mr. Winans possesses for accurately portraying 



'still hunting' has been turned to the happiest account by the artist The drawing is 



executed in a spirited manner thoroughly true to nature. . . . ' Greallach ' is a lovely bit of 

 Scotch scenery. The whole set of six etchings forming together a unique illustration of Scotch 

 Deer-stalking, which for correctness of outline, perspective, and fidelity to nature, we have never 

 seen surpassed." The American Traveller. 



" They are most excellent representations of a series of charming pictures, and cannot fail to 

 delight the eyes of all lovers of sport. Next to possessing the original paintings, a set of these 

 etchings of Mr. R. Josey ought to receive a place in the house of every sportsman, while as 

 specimens of the etcher's art, they cannot fail to please all who have a taste for good prints."
