SOME RECENT DRAWINGS OF
ENGLISH AND CONTINENTAL
GARDENS by GEORGE S. ELGOOD


Since the time when Mr. George
S. Elgood’s admirable paintings of
gardens were first illustrated and
favourably commented upon in the
Nay number of The Studio, 1895,
the interest in gardens of all kinds,
whether formal or
natural, has greatly
widened and in-
leased ; and this
has been shown par-
t'cularly in the num-
ber of volumes issued
in recent years deal-
lrig with this always
^tractive subject. In
Ns latest exhibition
°f Work at the Fine
Society’s Gal-
Nries in Bond Street,
Nr. Elgood once more
Provided a feast of
delightful visions of
Gautiful places, and
showed further dis-
hnct progress in his
delineation of the
lately terraces and
Parterres of Italian
and Southern French
gardens, with their
Naze of blossoms set
>n greenery, or dis-

posed among statues and architectural
features. That Mr. Elgood does not
neglect the gardens of his own country
was proved by his renderings of the
moss-grown stone copings and clipped
hedges of old English manor-houses.
