These reproductions are veritable facsimiles in colour of the original pictures, and it is no exaggeration to say that they leave far behind all previous attempts, by whatever process, to reproduce Great Masters, whether by chromolithograph, oleograph, collotype, or colour photogravure. Even by the method now employed, the wonderful results could not have been achieved without Mr. Mortimer Menpes' close co-operation with the engraver at every stage. A COMPLETE SET OF THE ABOVE PICTURES IS ALWAYS ON EXHIBITION AT THE PUBLISHERS' OFFICES, 4, 5 AND 6 THE MENPES SERIES OF GREAT MASTERS THIS IS A SMALL HALF-TONE ILLUSTRATION OF ONE OF THE REPRODUCTIONS, FRAMED COMPLETE 'A series of reproductions in colour that stand unrivalled for sheer excellence. The most subtle gradations of tone and colour, the texture of canvas and paint, the luminous transparency of the half-shadows, the sonorous depth of the deep shadows, the crisp accents of the high lightseverything is rendered with astounding accuracy.-P. G. KONODY, in The Observer. The claims made on behalf of the "Menpes Series of Great Masters" by Messrs. A. and C. Black, the publishers, are more than justified. Both in price and in quality the facsimiles outstrip Colour, all other reproductions in the past, and as far as we know at present in the market. crackle, old varnish, and tone are by this process faithfully rendered.'-The Daily Mail.
