“[E]ngravings, and casts of statuary, cherished by the mass of the people, have been spreading the genius of great masters abroad. Their conceptions are no longer pent up in galleries, open to but a few; they meet us in our homes and are the household pleasures of millions. Works designed for emperors, popes and nobles, find their way, in no poor representations, into humble dwellings, and sometimes give a consciousness of kindred powers to the child of poverty.
