Alfred East is represented by three large canvases,
Orchardson by several works shown in Paris; and
we also have works by Boughton, Frank Brangwyn,
and Walter Crane. The attention of public and
critics alike is attracted by two canvases by Byam
Shaw—Dove ? and Giochi dlAmore, the last-named
being the most popular. The Glasgow School is
represented by Lavery, who sends four works of
different sorts; by Paterson, Robertson, Kay, and
Walton, whose La Sera, together with a landscape

Bartels. French art, too, is worthily displayed,
its chief exponents being Carriere, Besnard,
Raffaelli, Martin, Menard, Royer, and Simon,

Bismarck; Kaulbach, with
three portraits; and Franz
Stuck, with some marvellous
