Excerpt from Lars Gustav Sellstedt
N ow my pleasant task is to attempt, by a pen picture, to bring our friend back to us as he lived and moved and had his being among us; to describe his outward and visible seeming, and those traits of mind, heart and character which distinguished him and made him what he was; to tell of his position and what he stood for in the intellectual, social and artistic life of Buffalo; what he accomplished as a painter and his great work for the furtherance of art in our midst; and to interweave just enough of the story of his life to portray the effect of his inheritance and sur roundings in molding and fashioning his mind and char acter.
