The Pail Mall Gazette is good enough
to say there can be no doubt that Amer
lea is at last asserting her position among
the nations as producer of fine art, nor
that her energy is leading her into a
variety of new experiments, which, how
ever, "need be received with great
caution These remarks are apropos of
an American process, now on exhibition
in London, of the reproduction of steel
engravings. The process is praised in a
general way for its delicacy and refine.
ment of tone, but it seems to stand on
the line Of the chrome, and, therefore,
it is supposed artists will have nothing
to do with it. Some day or other, says
the New York Graphic, we shall invent
machine for the turning off by the
thousand Of more beautiful statues than
Greeks ever carved and more glorious
pictures than Italy and the Dutch ever
dreamed of. The bold, bad Englishman
and the lazy and contemptuous artist
everywhere will then turn up celestial
noses at us and say that our machine
causes the cultured to regret that Amer
lea was ever discovered. But there the
machine will be, grinding off Zeuses and
Apollos and Moseses by the CARLOAD, and
We will be sending them off to Europe
each with an American eagle as tag to
its back. Then the Old World will
begin to see its folly in sneering at us for
our lack of artistic sense and esthetic
cuteness. What man has done, man can
do; and if Michael Angelo in Italy can
sculp a Moses, there is no reason why a
lathe in New England should not turn
out as beautiful a companion in Aaron.
All we want is to find out exactly how to
do the thing, and then all will be clear
sailing.
