No one writes at this level for money, because there's no money in it. Outstanding expose but... who is the target audience for a piece like this?? I'm not saying this to be a dick, I'm just genuinely curious....

Most fascinating, Mr. Ehret. I just finished watching Frontier and now onto watching Washington's Spies. As you can see I am not a television snob but enjoy the historial drama as I have always been interested in the history of our founding. IMHO neither of the series I mentioned are "great" but I find it enjoyable to watch and see how your wonderful writing adds further depth and insight. TY for this excellent piece.

In Benjamin West’s self portrait comparison

the first one he just painted himself, but it almost looks like he’s looking in a mirror that was my first thought and then when I saw the second one, he not only painted himself he painted the mirror and it’s frame and he does look more mature

-one can grow up quite a bit in seven years.
