It is enough to say here, therefore, that he was oneof the greatest men of all time, being not only a great painter, butalso a distinguished sculptor, architect, engineer, and man of science. The picture from which our frontispiece was made, representingthe Madonna receiving a lily from the hand of the infant Jesus, is oneof Da Vincis best, and was painted in his later yeaft. The supply of good things prepared for this Christmas numberwas so great that, in order to make room, it was decided to print noillustrations to either of the serial stories in this special issue, beyondthe little diagrams given.
