Carling, John R. Weird picture. (†)$1.50. Little.
A story concerned mainly with the machinations of an Italian artist whose madness and villainy actuate him to follow the Giotto method of stabbing his model to produce a realistic picture. There are some weird effects, exciting discoveries, and thru it all runs the romance of a matter-of-fact Englishman and his beautiful cousin.
