said he, "was reproduced by lithography
from painting. 1t is the result of thirty

left-hand pages a fresh color printed by
itself, and on its right hand pages the same
color printed in its proper relations with all
the colors combined which had preceded it,
the original design growing with each page
more distinct and fuller In color and richer
