Hetty Sorrel. PHOTO-ETCHING FROM DRAWING FREDERICK DIELMAN. Illustrating the scene in George Eliots great novel, Adam Bede where Hetty is at workin the dairy. Mr. Dielmans conception of the character as described by the author in the followingquotation is, we think, most satisfactory. There is one order of beauty which seems made to turnthe heads, not only of men, but of all intelligent mammals and women. It is a beauty like that ofkittens or very soft downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills ... a beautywith which you can never be angry, but that you feel ready to crush for inability to, comprehend thestate of mind into which it throws you. Hetty Sorrels was that sort of beauty.americanartamer01mont
