The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1876-01-07

Beyond the reserve Lnere is ldiup ohV"
OF iar-away horsemen charging some
where in hot pursuit. Then comes she
first elevation of the mountain, and
man-a rebel-stands waving a bright
Confederate strip OF stars and bars. H.
is amazing how bright the bars look, ard
how gigantic this standard-bearer Is
when compared to the pigmy men De-
side him. Truly there were giants IN
those days. A few more of the colassai
species of the genus homo may be seen
retreating around the curve that leads
to Chattanooga. These are by ne
cessity compelled to be large. else,
you'll understand, you could not see
them at all; for the men far upon
that they are almost past discerning, ana
the artist thought to improve on this er-'
ror and made the men beyond larger.
How an artist can fail in these trifies
who can conceive of such a grand work
of art is another thing can not under
stand. The heavy cloud that rests malt
| way up the mountain, shutting our army
| end the rebels alike from view, is-well,
is too tinged with green and sad umDefs
to look aerial. Above this cloud the pat

of grand old Lookout, the blue maze
1 Of discharged musketry shows how hard
the battle goes. The picture needs an
Anna Dickinson for delineator; then one
might feel the artists grand idea to the
fullest extent. Rings OF smoke from the
bursting bombs go about like uneasy
crowns seeking for a head, or like some
monster putting cigar smoke rings LOT
Ihis own amusement. Fires are burning
here and there and ties OF the rallroau
are taking wing at the instigation OF
numerous piles Of powder; ana all tne
time the General sits straight and calm
and majestic upon his fraglle-looklng
horse whose lifted fore-leg seems to
lhaye set the fashion in fore-leg
since every horse within view mas imi-
ltated to perfection the stylish bending oil
the knee. The artist, Mr.. Walker, has
done a great thing, and has exceeded In
size and real merit any OF the monster
pictures at the rotunda at Washington,
and it is really too bad that the small
ldefects have been overlooked SO strange
lly. The Monumental Society have given
a rood quarters worth to every person
visiting tne picture, at least, and have
retired with the full amount needed, ano
indeed a surplus.
