Excerpt from Landscape Painting
It is to be regretted that the art of color printing has not yet reached a stage of development where it can be trusted with the reproduction of a mas terpiece of landscape, which often de pends for its beauty on color-tones and color-transitions of extreme delicacy. In the present volume it has been judged best to confine the reproduc tions to simple half-tones in black and white to give no color rather than color which is false and misleading; and the illustrations here included are therefore presented, not as adequate representations of the works them selves, but as hints and suggestions only of the qualities'which give to those works their distinction and their beauty.
