"For you, the public"
Vincent van Gogh to Anthon van Rappard, from The Hague, 16 November 1882
I cannot agree with what you say about the way the public looks at things, namely being struck by faulty drawing before seeing the character. I do believe, however, that a relatively small part of the public looks at pictures in exactly the way you describe, but not the big crowd to whom Herkomer says, "For you, the public, it is really done" - at least that's what I think.
