George R. Rigby, awarded
the second prize, silver
medal; A Night Out, by
A. G. Watts, awarded the
silver medal in the theatrical
poster class; and a very
quaint and pretty set of
pictures by T. and A.

the
“Secess
lion”
opened an Exhibition in
their rooms consisting al-
most entirely of the work
of Munich artists, most of
them young men. Some
few of the leaders of the
Secessionists, however, exhibited beautiful and im-
portant pictures, and one of the gems of the
collection was a painting by the celebrated master,
Fritz von Uhde, representing his three daughters

matic means to achieve the same end as the
National Society for Checking the Abuses of
Public Advertising; and there is no reason why
the two bodies should not work in unison—-
though it must be owned that the ideal of the
Academy is higher than that of the Society, for
the one aims at educating, while the other seeks
to compel the advertiser to come to a more en-
lightened view as regards his work.
The best poster artists of the day were
represented by original designs, and in all con-
siderably over two hundred works were col-
lected for the occasion. Conspicuous amongst
the designs of the well-known artists were the
handsome and striking pictures by J. Hassall, Cecil
Aldin, Dudley Hardy, and Tom Browne. The
posters from the brushes of these artists were good
examples of what is best in the poster school—
bold and striking, yet harmonious in colouring
and picturesque in effect. Among other well-
known exhibitors were Bernard Partridge, J.
Pryde, W. True, and W. T. Rogers. All these
gentlemen formed the committee of the new
Academy, and so the value of its awards is
vouched for.
Amongst the many other posters which were
exhibited, special praise is due to the ’Cellist, by
A. J. Munnings, which took the gold medal as the
best poster sent in, excluding those contributed
by the committee ; The Peacock Library, by
