LEAVES FROM THE
SKETCH-BOOK OF
PERCY WADHAM.

Mp. PERCY WADHAM, whose drawings are here illustrated, is an
Australian by birth, being the son of the late Hon. William Wadham,
of Adelaide. Mr. Wadham received his early art training from the late
T. S. Cooper, R.A., at Canterbury. Later he studied drawing under the
late James Chapman, the intimate friend and fellow-worker of E. M. Ward,
R.A. It was ori-
ginally intended
that he should be-
come an architect,
but after serving
his articles he for-
sook architecture,
and for the past
twelve years his
work has been
chiehy devoted to
black - and - white
drawing for book
illustration. He
has exhibited at
most of the chiei
London and pro-
vincial galleries,
and has contributed
to many of the
illustrated maga-
zines. At the be-
ginning of 1902
Mr. Wadham was
elected an Associate
of the Royal So-
ciety of Painter-
Etchers, and he
has been a member
of the London
Sketch Club since
its foundation.
The pen-and-ink
drawings here re-
produced were
made during a tour
in France.
