We can't all like the same things.

Still there are certain pictures that most nice people like.

A few of these we have selected to be reproduced in this book for you to look at.

And to help you realize who painted them and the kind of people they were painted for, my daughter has written the chapters that follow.

I hope you will find them entertaining, and still more that you will like the pictures, and so learn to enjoy the many others that have come down to us from the past, and are among the world's most precious possessions to-day..
