Edinburgh: Painted by John Fulleylove; described by Rosaline Masson
Masson, Rosaline
Edinburgh (Scotland) -- Description and travel
Many volumes and countless articles have been written about Scottish
life and character, while the grand and beautiful in the scenery of
Scotland have been reproduced in numerous ways, from the rough wood-cut
to the latest colour process, but in the present book the hard-beaten
path is departed from, and some of the less familiar pictures of
Scottish life are represented. Mr. Henry J. Dobson, R.S.W., has devoted
much of his life to placing on canvas those humble Scottish interiors
which are fast disappearing, and, though his work in this direction is
well known to art lovers, the present reproduction in colours of twenty
of his paintings will receive a wide welcome. The quiet, grey tones of
the interiors, and the life-like portraits of the inmates, will recall
to many the old country life in Scotland, when time to them was still
young. The letterpress, which has been written by Mr. Wm. Sanderson,
editor of the _Border Magazine_, deals in a pleasing way with many
varied phases of Scottish life which, like the illustrations, will be
sure to awaken cherished memories of the past in the hearts of many
readers.
