Hamerton was invited by the Society of Illustrators to accept a Vice-Presidency along with Sir J. E. Millais, Sir F. Seymour Haden, and Mr. Holman Hunt. Messrs. Scribner having planned a work on American wood-cuts, wrote to ascertain if my husband would undertake it. Mr. Burlingame's letter explains the scheme.
Hamerton having been invited to preside at a meeting and dinner of the Society of Illustrators, and to deliver a lecture on the history of their art, fixed an earlier date than he had intended for his proposed visit to London, to comply with their wishes. He started alone on May 4, going by way of Dieppe, and wrote in the diary: "Capital passage. Enjoyed sea and color very much indeed."
How should you like to come to Boston and study?" "Oh, it is my ideal!" Sylvia clasped her hands. "It is going to be, my dear. Judge Trent has promised." The young artist caught her lip in her teeth and drew a long breath. "Meanwhile you shouldn't waste time," went on Edna. "The Keenes, you know Mr. and Mrs. Keene, the illustrators, have an artist camp in the White Mountains.
Here is a drawing by an architectural draughtsman of an architectural actuality and not of an artificial abstraction. This is a fairer ground on which to meet the illustrators of the picturesque. Mr. The old masonry is capitally expressed by the short irregular line.

Mr. Francis does but little artistic work, nowadays, more important business keeping him well occupied; besides, he says, he "is not in the mood for it." Who does not know Louis Wain's cats? that prince of English illustrators. Mr.

There are, too, many decorative illustrators who, while very distinctly confessing their indebtedness to old examples; are yet perfectly eclectic and individual, both in the choice and development of motive. Take, for example, the very modern subject of the cyclist by Mr. There are no archaisms in it whatever. The drawing is as naturalistic and just as careful as if it were designed for a picture.
The great illustrators, too, of the forties, fifties, and sixties, from Cruikshank and Browne to Frederick Walker, were partly helped by the system, partly helped to make it popular.
