Excerpt from The Macqueens of Queensdale: A Biography of Col. James Macqueen and His Descendants
The Committee appointed to take charge of the publication of this ''volume would make the following explanations: First - As to the engravings. It will be seen that some of the engravings are much better than others this is due to the difference in photographs. In many cases the only available photographs were very old, faded, discolored, and other wise damaged, and indistinctness of engravings in such case is by no means the fault of the engravers, the publishers, or the committee. The Bierman Engraving Company, of Charlotte, N. C., took great pains to reproduce in the engraving all that was in the photograph, and often the cut is more distinct than the picture from which it is made. Better photographs in many cases could not be had, as many of the subjects have been dead for years.
