I kept a copy, but gave the original to the Burgomaster.
I think the original was better than the copy, because it had more windows in it and the grass stood up better and had a brisker look.
There was none around the tower, though; I composed the grass myself, from studies I made in a field by Heidelberg in Haemmerling's time.

The man on top, looking at the view, is apparently too large, but I found he could not be made smaller, conveniently.

I wanted him there, and I wanted him visible, so I thought out a way to manage it; I composed the picture from two points of view; the spectator is to observe the man from bout where that flag is, and he must observe the tower itself from the ground.

This harmonizes the seeming discrepancy.

[Figure 2] Near an old cathedral, under a shed, were three crosses of stone--moldy and damaged things, bearing life-size stone figures.
