He succeeded better with charcoals and monochromes, and sent several finished subjects to be reproduced by the Autotype Company. Mr. S. Palmer wrote about it: "If I had twenty years before me, I should like to spend them on monochromes and etching." In the same letter he went on: "Life being spared, your 'Marmorne, the fame of which had already arrived, is the next reading treat on my list.
