About the book >.>.> The work of the most original and virile of living American etchers is represented in the following repro-ductions, and in The Gunner (Plate I) we see the man himself. Nor could any other plate of the series more appropriately prelude those most characteristic of the artist, in which he has recorded, with vivid surprises of pictorial beauty and an authentic etcher's mastery, the variously conditioned flight-motions of the diverse fowl that haunt the watery wilds of North America. For, while Frank Benson is as naturally a sportsman as he is instinctively an artist, it is in his sporting pursuit of the wild birds that he finds those rich opportunities for sudden or patient observation of their activities in the air or in the water which suggest the original pictorial motives that distinguish his etch-ings. He loves the wild birds as he knows them with that knowledge born of the open-air naturalist's intimate love of animate nature, yet, we look at his self-portra.
