Product Description
Excerpt from The Square Peg
Well, she said at length; some art-editor has given you a commission, I suppose?
On the contrary, the last art-editor to whom I applied has sent my stuff back to me with the usual complimentary letter and the usual regret that, owing to the degradation of the public taste, his magazine can only be made to pay its way by means of reproduced photographs. The truth, I am afraid, is that the prospects of workers in black and white have never looked more black or less white than they do at the present day. I confess that this man's refusal, coming on the top of so many previous ones, discouraged me a little, and I was asking myself whether I hadn't better advertise for somebody who might be willing to adopt a but hitherto unappreciated, pauper when I Opened another letter which was waiting to be read, and found, if you please, that that was exactly what some body had done!
