Illustrating Lanier With Photographs.


The new edition OF Sidney Laniers
Hymns Of the Marshes" which viii be
published in October, will be illustrated
in very interesting and appropriate
way. Tweaty-one reproductions have
been made from photographs OF scenes
Of the marshes OF GlynR taken espe-
cially for this book
The PHOTOGRAPHER. Mr.. Troth. spent
many days, even weeks, trampin3 and
boating through and around the marshes
TO secure as nearly as possible pictures
OF the exact scenes described N the
poems. In places the marshes have
changed their character largely OF late
years but there are many miles OF them
still lift as they were when Mr.. Lanier
knew them JelCyl island and St Simon
island are within their boundaries. and
most OF the photographs are tax n near
those places. The beauty and tle mys-
terry II the marshes, their breath and
sweet, would lend themselves with pecu-
liar appropriateness TO photography.
