TILE LLTHOGR4PHERS' ART.

The necul,ar position occupied by painting among
the fine arts has been already pointed out. 1t Is
the only art whose product is complete without the
assistance of any secondary craft The artist, his
brushes. palette and canvas. suffice for the ex-
preston of the sublime of creative visions
1t Is art which I'm the of Its spontaneous
and progressive inspiration admits of no

duplicate. Some subtitle change of mood creeps In
and we have variation. Still less possible is the
copy by admiring hands. This can never be more
than a skilful translation.
Under these circumstances the art utbosronb bos

The Introduction of aluminium as a printing
