stance, including cutting, leading, &c., is done by the artist
himself. As an instance of how little photography can do, it is worth
while to describe such a small item as the _scroll_ above the figure.
This is of glass most carefully selected (or most skilfully treated with
acid), so that the ground work varies from silvery-white to almost a
pansy-purple, and on this the verse is illuminated in tones varying from
pale primrose to the ruddiest gold--the whole forming a passage of
lovely colour impossible to achieve by any system of "copying." It is
work like this and the preceding that is referred to on p. 266.

PLATE VII.--_"The Dream of St. Kenelm," by H. A. Payne._ The author had
the pleasure of watching this work daily while in progress. It was done
entirely by the artist's own hand, by way of a specimen "masterpiece" of
craftsmanship, and the aim was to use to the full extent every resource
of the material.

PLATE VIII.--_Six "Quarries"--"Day and Night," "The Spirit on the Face
of the Waters," "Creation of Birds and Fishes," "Eden," and "The Parable
of the Good Seed," by Pupils of H. A. Payne, Birmingham School of Art._
These lose very much by reduction, and should be seen with a lens
magnifying 2-1/2 diameters. They are the designs of the pupils
themselves (boys in their teens), and are examples of bold outline
_untouched after tracing_. They are more elaborate than would be
desirable for _ordinary_ quarry glazing; being intended for interior
work on a screen, to be seen close at hand with borrowed light.
