| In the Smithsonian BUILDING.
THE collection of prints by Joseph
Margulies. on exhibition in the

| quite out of the ordinary. The plates
| in the first instance are larger than
usual and the etching is frequently
! done with broad. heavy line. attain
ing to exceptional boldness. The
greater number of the So works shown
are studies in portraiture. some are

masters. His Flemish Mother with
jug" is peculiarly appealing; Scribe
With Spectacles," dry point. has

well it is that We have so many schools,
so many different methods of express
sion, no one entirely right and but
| few completely wrong. Mr.. Margulies'
work presents interesting deviation
| from the usual.
