Are these pictures good? The statements of two eminent men are a sufficient guarantee: 

 The pictures are astonishingly good. I like them so well that I shall put 

 them up on the walls of my rustic retreat, Slab Sides.— JoM Burroughs. 



You have certainly hit upon a method of reproducing colors with remark- 

 able fidelity to nature.— 2>r. Elliott Coues.
