Excerpt from Sears Gallagher's Etchings of Boston: With Notes on the Man and a Complete List of His Etched Work
But there were yet others who felt that since there was no denying the fact that this man was an artist of deservedly high standing and of international fame, there might be some truth in what he said. Cruel as was the wound, might it not be the faithful wound of a friend, administered to produce reaction? If Boston were beautiful, and picturesque, and inspiring what proof was forthcoming? What paintings, litho graphs or etchings of the city could be shown to refute his charges? Frankly, there were few worth mentioning - for this all happened a number of years ago. Since that time, however, whether or not be cause of the adverse criticism I cannot say, some interesting prints of Boston have appeared.
And now comes Sears Gallagher, erstwhile clever Q wifiuliwater-colorist, with a portfolio of delightful etchings of Boston. The event prompts one critic to rise and remark with a quiet emphasis that carries conviction, No artist has done more to give the lie to Joseph Pennell's well advertised dictum about Boston than Mr. Gallagher. 80 say we all. Fortunately, Gallagher had made up his mind about the fruitful possibilities of Boston as a sketching ground before Pennell had pointed out its barrenness. As there was no concerted effort to make Boston over, Gallagher continued to sketch the old city as he found her, and as he loved her. His feeling for the ancient landmarks is as natural to him as is his talent for drawing, perhaps because of his descent from a long line of 'pilgrim ancestors - Governor William Bradford among them.
