BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS : PEN-AND-INK DRAWING, BY A. W. DODD
TWO OF A SERIES OF "THE FOUR ELEMENTS"

A poster for a " Ballad
Concert" by Winifred
Blackburne is a clever com-
position in four colours,
combining grace and subtle
humour, as in her work
illustrated on page 326 of
September number of THE
STUDio. Another poster
by the same designer,
35°


entitled ATa/wf 372A is also a satisfactory
arrangement for four colours. Her three decorative
panels for a nursery overmantel are also character-
istically humorous and refined in colour.

A poster in three colours called
by Mary Singlehurst, is a spirited drawing of
Malvolio, but the lettering has scarcely weight
enough to sympathise with the rest of the design.

a decorative panel by the late Miss
Nina Morrison, charms us both by its form and its

students' work. The same may be said of the
refined etchings of animals by Miss Kershaw.

Jessie Malcolm's stencilled frieze epitomises a
familiar local scene of coasters and attendant tugs
dropping down on the Mersey tide.

A totally different conception for a stencilled
frieze is the design by Arthur B. Waller, of
spiritedly drawn galleons in a rolling sea, with
dolphins and flights of birds, all, perhaps, too busy
in detail, when the necessary repetition is con-
sidered, but the colours are
well thought out. His
stencilled hangings and
the stencilled hangings of
William J. Thomas are in-
genious designs, somewhat
over-elaborated.
