INTRODUCTION
In presenting this volume, I have endeavored to honor the memory of a good man and a dear friend. In the tenderness, sincerity, and simplicity of his work are to be found the elements which were most conspicuous in the personality of the late M. A. Woolf, together with unostentatious charity and a humor, unique in contemporary art, which, while always manly and honest, possessed the power to move as well to tears as to laughter.
The following selections were made from among the most characteristic of Mr. Woolf’s contributions to Life and Judge, and a number of hitherto unpublished drawings.
To all who by kindly suggestion and personal effort have assisted me in this compilation, I extend the assurance of my deep thanks and appreciation.
Joseph Henius.
Brooklyn, October, 1899.
