theory that both these animals had already then

IN the sixteenth century when Europe, SO far
as art was concerned. had at last been aroused
from its medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and an extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re-

forms Of the chase, there were produced quite
