Barlach, for instance, represented both by woodcuts and lithos, proves far more convincing in the former category.

...surprise to anyone−not to the chalk players who had watched Neji win Belmont's Grand National just the week before, nor to Alfred Patrick Smithwick, who is the chestnut champion's pilot, nor to his brother Daniel Michael Smithwick, who nursed Neji into shape for the race of his life.
