Excerpt from Catalogue of the Works of Elbridge Kingsley: Consisting of a Life Sketch, Complete List of Book and Magazine Engraving, a Full Showing of Art Work, Original and Reproductive, by First Proofs on Japan Paper For his original work from nature and for reproduc tions from the Barbazon painters of France a gold medal l was given to Mr. Kingsley at the Paris Exposition of 1889. Contrary to the foreign attitude, this work in1 America was met with antagonism by painter and en graver, and received scant courtesy except at the hands: of art departments directly interested. On one occasion, however, while he was encamped on Mt. Holyoke in a a] sketching car, a few engravers gave countenance to hiss original work, and with much good will prepared an article for the Century Magazine which they illustrated with specimens of their own work from nature.
