It was only at Venice and Antwerp that he was welcomed as the Albert Duerer whom we to-day know, love, and honour. C. S. Ricketts and Mr. C. H. Shannon, reproduced in the sixth folio of the Duerer Society, 1903. Mr. Campbell Dodgson describes the drawing as in a measure spoilt by retouching, but what convinces him that these retouches are not by Duerer? DUeRER'S METAL ENGRAVINGS
Worthington Smith reported upon it as having a bad surface, and readily breaking away so that the cuts require much retouching after engraving. Natural Order Ebenaceae. Diospyros texana. A North American tree, of the wood of which Professor Sargent speaks favorably. "It is, however," he says, "in Texas, at least, rather small, scarcely six inches in diameter, and not very common.
"Yes, there is hope, great hope. In fact, he has promised to receive me again, and I have hopes of leading him to the sacrament of confession, and after that" "And then the Pope will forgive him!" said Agnes, joyfully. The face of the monk suddenly fell; he was silent, and went on retouching his drawing. "Do you not think he will?" said Agnes, earnestly.

In one of Poe's minor tales, written in 1845, there is a vague allusion to wild mountains in western Virginia "tenanted by fierce and uncouth races of men." Time and retouching have done little to soften our Highlander's portrait.
Ignorant of the art of retouching every curl and studying every effect, Eugenie simply crossed her arms, sat down by the window, and looked at the court-yard, the narrow garden, and the high terraced walls that over-topped it: a dismal, hedged-in prospect, yet not wholly devoid of those mysterious beauties which belong to solitary or uncultivated nature.
Conversing with others, he was grave and sententious, not without a cast of severity. But he is said never to have been observed to give way to violent passion, excepting upon one occasion, when a mischievous truant-boy defaced with a stone the nose of a cherub's face, which the old man was engaged in retouching.
The reader who has studied Cicero's style will think that the retouching went to a great extent, or that the two brothers were very like each other in their power of expression. The first piece of advice was no doubt always in Cicero's mind, not only when he looked for office, but whenever he addressed a meeting of his fellow-citizens.
If the rich women of every large city would build a great college in which every sort of trade and profession could be taught, from nursing to stenography, from retouching photographs to the study of law, while the applicant, after her sincerity had been established, was kept in comfort and ease of mind, with the understanding that she should repay her indebtedness in weekly installments after the college had launched her into the world, we should have no more such ghastly plays as The Fugitive or hideous sociological tracts as A Bed of Roses.
It is as though some Titanic artist in an hour of inspiration were retouching the picture, painting in dark purple shadows among the rocks, strengthening the lights on the sands, gilding and beautifying everything, and making the whole scene live. The river, whose windings make it look like a lake, turns from muddy brown to silver-grey. The sky from a dull blue deepens into violet in the west.
