...this country, and of the demands of business upon art. "I was commissioned to go to Palestine and paint the life there to show what it is really like," said Mr. Cornwell to a reporter. Why, one might wonder, did not the commissioner of Mr. Cornwell send a photographer instead? Perhaps because no photograph could achieve that spirit, verve and easy romance that Mr. Cornwell puts into his illustrations. Unsuccessful artists sneer at him because he makes money, and has a studio in the Chelsea Arts Club, London. They forget that every man defines success in his own terms. Dean...

His son, George V, himself a crack marksman, later tendered...
Difficult to discover and pin down as is the full content of his pictures, Arthur Rackham himself still more elusive. His U. S. publishers despair at his abhorrence of publicity. Not since 1909 has his photograph appeared in U.S. public prints. Hardly a soul among his admirers knows that he began life 59 years ago as the son a business-like London gentleman who set him to work in an insurance office. Or that now, having perfected his draughtsmanship until it is a byword, he lives amid Sussex downs with a wife who also draws, in a cottage of crazy...
