be paid by the artist when sending to
the purchaser and by the purchaser
or borrower when returning to him.

found to work satisfactorily, but this
seems to be the first time that it has
been undertaken by an artist.

working in the museum. Both left
Washington shortly thereafter and at
tanned to very considerable distinction,
Mr.. Bull through his drawings of wild
