n Dorotheergasse. i$o2.)—This littlevolume is
a venture of the schoiars of the Vienna School of
Applied Art. The students are evidently in holi-
day mood, and they are fuhy determined to be
eccentric at all costs. Some of the work, nevertheless,
is good. We like H. Unterkalmsteiner's silhouette
of a courtyard, and O. M. Miethke's shipping scene.
We notice also a pretty page of decoration by
J. Sika, and some strong work by W. v. May. The
little book speaks well for the enterprise of the
students, and it is produced with much care. The
cover and end papers are pleasantly original.

Edition. By ELEANOR RowE. (London: B. T.
Batsford, 1902. Price iy. each).—It is needless
to say more of these little manuals than to call
attention to the fact that they have been lately
reprinted, with many additions. They are
thoroughly practical, and the illustrations are
selected with genuine discrimination.
We have received from Messrs. Raphael Tuck
and Sons a collection of Christmas and New Year
cards for the present season. Last year we noted
a decided artistic advance in many of the cards
issued by this Hrm — an advance which does
not appear to have been well sustained this
year. Perhaps it is that the general public does
not appreciate good drawing and clever design,
but prefers the meretricious prettiness more
commonly seen in this class of work. Although
we do not hnd any design among the smaller cards
which calls for particular remark, some of the
larger calendars show unusual merit. Among
these may be mentioned the " Dickens Series,"
consisting of four spirited drawings by Mr.
Ludovici, excellently reproduced in colours, which
deserve the popularity undoubtedly in store for
them. A series of six humorous drawings by
H. Cowham, representing the game of ping-pong,
are decidedly clever. Mention must also be made
of a beautifully printed large panel representing the
"Infant St. John," by H. M. Bennett.
Frorn Messrs. Winsor and Newton we have
received a selection of their "stiff" oil colours.
The colours are contained in convenient wide-
mouthed tubes. They are well ground and, on
account of their consistency and uniform quality,
commend themselves to those who work in this
class of material.
We have received from Messrs. Window and
Grove an admirable photograph, representing a

tableau of the hrst act of " Paolo and Francesca,"
as recently played at the St. James's Theatre,
London. The picture, which is 24 ins. long by
7 ins. deep, forms a pleasing memento of the play.
The overmantel illustrated on page 205 and the
buffet on page 206 of the August number were
designed and executed by Mr. de Graaf, of the
hrm of Onder S. Maarten, and not by Mr. K.
Sluyterman as stated.
