Look at his Gentleman Reading (Figure 3.) how well thesitters occupation is carried out in the expression of the faceand hands, and how the tiny shadows of pure white of thecollar, tie and vest produce a color note. His detail of linearrangement, although the latter scarcely aspires to the beautyof line for lines sake, is always good. It is wilful, accidentalat times, but never obtrusive. In his management of light McGeorge is quite eccentric.It is difficult to guess where it comes from. There are toomany varied sources and reflections, but it has the merit ofbeing soft and luminous. He is particularly fond of photo-graphing towards the light, which gives to some of his facesa vague shadowy, one may say impressionistic expression.Far from being masterpieces McGeorges best prints are ofunusual interest, particularly so if one studies them for certainrather exceptional qualities as I have tried to point out. 172
