"....My Winter Shelf, considered by critics as one of the gems shown at the one-man show is the picture of the window end of a study, with books and flowers and other 'friendly' things on the window shelf and a beautiful snow scene outdoors. The shining white wonders of the outdoors and the color of the shelf make a splendid contrast....".

Boston Globe, 1926 by A. J. Philpott

".....That snow scene outdoors is well-done and the color on that shelf makes a splendid contrast. It must be some picture or John Spaulding wouldn't have purchased it for his collection."
