Synopsis
Excerpt from In Rustic England
In the same way, too, the ideal istic painters of our own time, painters like George Mason and Birket Foster, are every bit as typically British as the unbending qualities of a Lord Kitchener. It is because critics are slow to recognize this fact that they fail to do justice to the simple ballad pictures painted by Birket Foster.
