Studio: international art (17.1899)

Awards in “ The Studio ” Prize Competitions

Price io5. 6d. net.—The “ papers ” referred to upon
the title-page consist in the main of letters or ex-
tracts from letters written by Ruskin to Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, by Rossetti to Madox Brown, and
by various personages to the editor. The result is
312 pages of gossip not without interest and value
to students of and writers on the nineteenth-century
“ Pre-Raphaelite ” Art Movement in England.
Mr. William Rossetti has so arranged and annotated
the documents as to render them as lucid as
possible; but at least three-fourths of the matter
might have been omitted without in any way
lessening the value of the book.

Bismarck in der Karikatur. (Stuttgart: Franck-
’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung).—This tastefully got
up little volume is not only a complete comical
and historical record of the remarkable career of
the great statesman, but affords an opportunity
for comparing the character and the methods of
British and Continental caricaturists. The most
striking contrast can be found between the respect-
ful, almost dignified “Punch” cartoons, such as
the memorable drawing by Tenniel, Dropping the
Pilot, and the venomous outbursts of the French
caricaturists. It is a pity that Jean Veber’s sensa-
tional picture, The Butcher's Shop, does not come
within the range of this book, which deals ex-
clusively with journalistic caricatures. It is a more
perfect expression of the Gallic idea of caricature
than any of the specimens included in the volume.
The illustrations are remarkably clear, if the enor-
mous scale of reduction is taken into consideration,
and the printing is done with commendable care.
