First International “Studio" Exhibition
some of the well-known and beautiful work of
Mr. R. Anning Bell. This artist showed three
coloured reliefs in terra-cotta— Whea/ear, A
Mermaid, and Ippolita—and one in coloured
plaster, An Angel Adoring-. Special praise is
also due to a little gesso panel by Eva Marsh
—a thoroughly satisfying and restful piece of
decoration—consisting of poppies on a ground
of dull gold; an excellent colour-harmony, but
more notable still for the good arrangement of
the flower in a decorative convention.
LEATHER BOOK-COVER DESIGNED AND EXECUTED
BY ALICE SHEPHERD
The leather-work was chiefly confined to
book-bindings and handy pocket-wares, but
there was one handsome embossed panel for a
firescreen, well framed in oak, by Maud Wheel-
wright ; here the leather was richly toned, and
the vigorous ship design harmonised pleasantly
with the setting. Eugen Fischof sent a very
pleasing collection of stained, embossed, and
tooled card-cases, cigar and cigarette cases,
purses, photograph frames, and other small
articles, showing admirable delicacy of work-
manship and taste in design. Leather cases
of similar style were also shown by Victor Tull.
