where in the world has wood engraving
reached such perfection as III the United
States, but it seems to have reached its
limit, it being impossible to make finer and
more artistic work than is now produced.
Consequently, the only forward step posi-

water colors appeal more strongly to the ar

or etchings, because they represent more
nearly nature as she is, and it is this fact
that makes the colored illustrations in the
Cosmopolitan so much more attractive than
any wood engraving or pen drawing can
possibly be. The literary matter of the
number is excellent. Schlicht & Field Co.
