Présentation de l'éditeur

By JOHN C. GALTON, M.A. (O xon), F.L.S. PLATE CXXIX. Sie est die einzige Kunstlerin: aus dem eimpekten Stoffe zu den ffrossten Contrasten; ohne Schein derA nstrengung zu der grossten VoU endung; zur genauesten Bestimmtheit immer mit et;was Weichen uberzogeD, .... ihre Weckstatte ist unzuganglich.
