“Testimonial from the Rev. C.H. Spurgeon.

'Dear Sir, -- I think the Photographic Slides from 'John Ploughman's Pictures' are quite a triumph of ingenuity. I hope they come out as well on the sheet as they look on the glass. I have never seen better pictures, and hardly think it probable that better could be produced. I should think they will be a great acquisition to Lecturers. Receive my best thanks for the Slides you have sent me; I must give a reading by their aid. John Ploughman is glad to be so well represented by your art.'”
