his grateful heir? Who does not now do
loving reverence to this poor "painter on the rozengraft, opposite the
doolhof?" He surely stands among the immortals, one of the foremost
painters of all time, the greatest etcher that has yet appeared.

NOTE--The foregoing article was published a few years ago in _The
Craftsman_. Of the many commendations received at that time we print but
one:

"New York, Dec'r. 5, 1906. Dear Mr. Holman; *** I send you my special
thanks for your article on the etchings of Rembrandt. I have read it
carefully, and let me say plainly that I think is the best short treatise
on this great subject which ever I have read. The knowledge of the
subject as treated by many writers is so superficial--but yours is
profound. You have evidently made a serious study of your subject. Yours
very truly,"

(Signed) Frederick Keppel.
