What other factor of home deco once so combines the interesting and the beautiful? What memories are so keen and lasting as those of some beautiful picture? One of the world’s greatest critics says: —‘* Nothing so directly and immediately indicates the character of a man as the pictures upon his walls. Nothing in the furnishing of a home conduces so much to refined pleasure as a collection of carefully chosen pictures— you live with them and consciously or unconsciously they are affect- ing your thoughts in most of the spare moments you spend with them. If, then, the art with which you furnish your home has such an important bearing upon your daily life, it behooves you to place upon your walls pictures of such a character that their effect will be beneficial and inspiring.”* The Burlington Proofs were issued two years ago in England to meet the demand for genuinely fine pictures for home decoration at a low price. The Proofs were so beautiful and at the same time so remarkably inexpensive that they immediately took a unique position as the pictures par excellence for the decoration of the home. People and press acclaimed them, and the sale to those who appreciated their rare beauty and cheapness reached into the tens of thousands. From Europe their fame spread abroad until The Burlington Proofs are now looked upon as establishing the standard of quality throughout the world.
