[Reading Club Commemorates the Death of Voltaire]

Svornost, June 3, 1878

The Reading Club commemorated the one hundredth Anniversary of the death of Voltaire, exhibiting a large portrait of him and reading several of his shorter works. Because of rain, attendance was small.

We were much surprised at the skill of our young and modest artist, Miss M. Koupalove.

Using a small portrait as a model, she completed, in two hours, a large painting for the club. She is certainly deserving of recognition and encourgement to proceed to further success.
