A note in The Comrade

It is a pleasure to be able to present in this issue some of the fine artistic work that H. G. Jentzsch, the German artist, has done for the Socialist cause. Mr. Jentzsch has been for several years on the staff of the Socialist bi-weekly journal, "Der Wahre Jacob," of Stuttgart, but his work is as yet but little known in England and America. His poetic feeling, his exquisite draftsmanship and his bold artistic conceptions all combine to give him a unique place in the Socialist movement, and it will readily be seen that he has many qualities in common with Walter Crane, the English artist.

We are sure our readers will be delighted to find the pages of "The Comrade" adorned by the beautiful illustrations which Jentzsch has drawn for William Morris's "News From Nowhere," thereby making the story doubly interesting.
