WHAT AN ARTIST THINKS OF 1T NOW THAT 1T IS
COMPLETED.
THE STAR gives space with pleasure to the
following note from q gentleman whose extern
sive travel and wide observation not less than
his accomplishments and reputation as an
artist entitle his opinions upon anything re
lating to art to the greatest possible respect
WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1885.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
AT the risk of being Ruskinesuue T. O.
"Changeable," must acknowledge that wher.
wrote some weeks ago to the New York Times
"the monument at Washington was a pile of
masonry, was wholly and entirely wrong
That estimate was the result OF impressions
received from the appearance of the unfinished
column during visit to America five wears
ago. Now that it is finished all Is changed We
have good Obelisk, we'll placed and in har-
mony with the Greek-DOru architecture which
surrounds it, / have given close observation of
the different effects OF light and shade, both
the city, and am much impressed with its
grandeur.
No one who has been in Egypt can fail to be
deeply impressed with this monument as now
seen. It's effect Is conspicuously sublime when
seen at proper distance.
Shall say that this monument is a cOmpli-
ment to nature and will hold its own with the
great structures OF the ancient Egyptians.
