It is to be hoped that the result pleased his customer. It was my conjecture that the griffons might be intended for evolutional ancestral portraits and if my surmise was correct the two distortions might serve as portraits of two of his
ancestors one attenuated and the other obese. Anyway, I would as soon trace my origin to a fine official and officious-looking griffon or whatever it is as to a grinning, chattering chimpanzee.
Another Example. Fig. 4 is another example of what may be done in the way of varying the form of an area in which any design may be placed.
