>LIFE>- REVIVAL OF THE ART OF 18TH CENTURY COLOR PRINTING Art connoisseurs are generally familiar with the wonderful color prints of the eighteenth century and have regretted the decadence of this process of reproduction. France has worked along the old lines of this art of late years with varying success, but it has remained for American inventiveness and French artisanship combined to carry color prints to a wider field of reproduction and greater effedtiveness. Mr. Ralph Randolph Adams, the maker of art books, and M. Sangois, the ablest artisan in this work, lately of the greatest color house in France, have evolved between them processes that carry this work to such lengths that they are able to produce color-prints so entirely devoid of all mechanical effeéts that the artists themselves are often unable to distinguish between the reprodudtion and the original painting. Among the first color-prints offered are a series of automobile pictures, including a portrait of Wagner, winner of the Vanderbilt cup, by Jean Paleologue, late of Paris, as well as a dry point etching entitled * Pierrette"’ by the same versatile artist, an excellent head of “Diana’* by Frank Fowler, the well-known portrait and figure painter. A list of other subjeéts by well-known American artists will be ready December 16t. Mailed on application. On satisfactory references from an established business house or national bank, Mr. Adams will ship prints of any of the above subjeéts on approval. ‘The Winter Auto Girl, Plate mark r6in.x12in.
