Editorial Comment for this plate:

“STILL WATERS.”

THE lovely bit of natural landscape which embellishes our issue this week is from a by J. J. Montgomery, formerly operator for Mora, and was included in “The Twelve Studies” which were published just before holidays last year. The picture speaks for itself, and as a study of foliage and tree-form is one the best things we have ever seen; the light shade is managed in a manner to bring out peculiar softness appropriate to the subject, yet enhance the effectiveness of the composition.
