A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

During my vagrant wanderings in my capacity of War-artist-correspondent, I have met with some remarkable personalities, from emperors and princes to King Lackland of the Tziganes. These dignitaries, with the greatest soldiers, sailors, diplomatists, statesmen, writers, actors, and artists of the day, have all found places in my sketch-book or have registered themselves on the sensitive film of my memory. Some of these slight sketches are reminiscent of many who are still a part of the living kaleidoscope, and of not a few who have passed out of it into the grey and colourless shades. I only hope, in publishing these recollections, that there will be found nothing in these pages that will, as the adage goes, make the dead turn in their graves; and I trust that those still living, who come across this book and find a word-presentment of themselves, will not be wrath with the artist if the sketch is not as happy as it should be.
