"To the writer of this 'Figures of Earth' the book's main fault - pre-eminent among an intimidatingly large horde of others, - has always seemed to be the fact that it was not illustrated by Frank C. Papé. Now at long last that defect - in any case, that one especial defect, - is very happily remedied; and in these witty and poetic illustrations, in these caustic and sly tailpieces, a five-year-old ambition is for the book's writer realized."--A Preface to These Pictures.
