A proper explanation of this picture also bringsout the greater sublimity, the more spiritual quality,of early representations of the Immaculate Con-ception, as compared with the Spanish present-ment which has become the norm. My hope, asI have said, is that this little book may only provean introduction to a much-needed work on the A FUTURE BOOK 167 subject, and I should be deeply grateful to any ofmy readers who would call my attention to out-of-the-way pictures of the kind, or to early repre-sentations of the Conception in drawings, wood-cuts or miniatures.
