W. M. Thorndike, and Orville P. Williams are all
prominent cartoonists.
The large number of clever men who are now
devoting their time and energy to developing this
comparatively new field of art for the million are,
in a way, forming a new and interesting race of
pen draughtsmen and designers, and at the same
time they are creating a public interest in a field
of art both vast and far-reaching in its possibilities.

shown that really good work may be accomplished
under almost any condition of printing.

STUDIO-TALK
(From Our Own Correspondents.)
LONDON.—We have lately been given the
opportunity of gaining an insight into the
tendency of modern art in Austria, but
unfortunately the exhibition held at the
Prince’s Skating Rink was too little known to
the general public. Of the excellence of the
works of art now being produced in Austria
there can be no doubt, though in some in-
stances there seems to be a tendency to over-
elaborate decoration. We see this in the iron
scroll-work on the chimney-piece of the smoking-
room designed by L. Baumann, and executed
by J. and J. Hermann (Vienna), which clashes
with the frieze application on the walls. It
is well, in designing such a room as this, to
remember that the beauty of a decoration is
enhanced when the eye is not only charmed but
rested by what it sees. Of the value of the
furniture, both from the point of view of beauty
and of comfort, there can be no doubt. In
the severe simplicity of design and perfect
workmanship shown in the mahogany dining-
room furniture (designed by R. Fix and executed
by Portois & Fix, Vienna), and in the wall decora-
tions, hangings, and carpet, we have a harmonious
whole, worthy of praise; while Niedermoser’s
yellow ochre dining-room, though not so happy
in its results, has much individuality, particularly
in the window hangings, carpet, and wall decora-
