Tissot refers to some of his works sent to his correspondent and states `Some days ago I addressed you regarding the original copies of my work, ''The Life of our Lord Jesus Christ''. Not hearing from you, I fear my letter was either misdirected or mislaid. Having given so much time and thought to the color reproductions of the pictures in book form, I feel that they are as much my own work as the original paintings, and sincerely wish them to go into good hands and be in congenial company.´ A letter of interesting content. VG The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, 1899, New York, The McClure-Tissot Company. Three hundred and sixty-five compositions from the four gospels with notes and explanatory drawings.
