decorate the inside of the folding doors, these and

The two posters illustrated on page 176 are
lithographs in four colours, designed and drawn
upon the stone by Constance Read. The most
observable feature of the prints from which these
illustrations are reproduced, is the excellent quality
obtained by the skilful treatment of the black.
Agnes Stevens’ modelled design for a newel post,
although admirable in many respects, gives un-
desirable prominence to the angles, which appear
somewhat aggressive, and whether executed in
wood or stone, these sharp points and angles
would certainly be readily damaged.
The stencilled frieze by Gilbert Rogers is
ingeniously designed and well cut. The highest
note of colour in the golden sunset sky is gradually
reduced through the warm browns of the ship to
the green browns of the waves with a very pleasing
result.

hanging by William Blakeman seems a more
