The Burlington Magazine says : " They are the most marvellous specimens of colour reproduction which

we have hitherto seen They have a quite deceptive resemblance to the original paintings. The details are

rendered with a minuteness even greater than that of a fine photogravure. The rendering of colour is also marvellous. To the student, these reproductions open up new horizons. The usefulness of such a publication as an adjunct to public galleries and museums which can never hope to acquire important originals by the rarer masters cannot be exaggerated."
