Editorial Comment for this plate:

“In The Woods.”

THE charming bit of nature, which embellishes our journal this week in photogravure, was discovered by Mr. Clarence M. Fowler’s discerning eye on an outing with his camera near the Delaware Water Gap, N. J. It was photographed about noon on a rather hazy day, which accounts for the softness and soothing atmospheric effect of the quiet scene. The sheet of water partly shown in the picture is Lake Leiup. The pleasing composition of the view speaks for itself. Mr. Fowler, the author of the picture, is an amateur photographer who thinks more of the art side than the scientific technicalities of photography. He is a member of the New York Tile Club, an amateur art association in which photography frequently plays a conspicuous part. The picture was made on a Carbutt Special plate, with a Beck lens.
