Mr. Wilmot Townsend's new drawing, "Outside 

 the Danger Line," depicts a flock of broadbills 

 alighting; and the study of action will readily be 

 recognized by observing gunners as true to the life. 

 The scene is on a calm day, when, with nothing to 

 alarm them, the ducks have concluded to rest 

 a while far from shore. Reproduced by the artotype 

 process, the plate being 16x21in. Edition limited 

 to 100. Price is $3.
