International studio (25.1905)

A. W. Elson & Co., of Boston. This etching, which
is interesting and vigorous in treatment, is drawn
from the daguerreotype made by Southworth &
Hawes for Mr. Emerson when he was in his prime.
It is considered his best portrait and was chosen by
Dr. Edward W. Emerson for this publication.
Further information in regard to the edition may be
obtained from the publishers. The same house is
soon to add to its list of publications of carbons and
photogravures a series of Dutch and Flemish
paintings, embracing seventy-five subjects, which
is being edited by Dr. Martin, of the Mauritshuis
Museum at The Hague.
ME. C. KLACKNER, whose interesting edition of
Meissonier prints we referred to in our May issue,
is now showing at his galleries at 7 West Twenty-
Eighth Street, New York, a number of interesting
examples of water colours and oils by modern
Dutch painters.
THE BOSTON MUSEUM OF FiNE ARTS is calling
attention to a fragment of ancient marble lent by
Mr. J. Templeman Coolidge, Jr., and placed in the
room of Greek bronzes, coins and gems. The
object is the front half of a girl's torso, measuring
not more than twenty-four inches in height; the
back, originally of a separate piece of marble,
is lost. The right arm was apparently uplifted,
and the left hung free of the body, while some
drapery possibly held aloft in the right hand,
crossed the hips in a way to suggest the guess that
the girl was represented as unveiling her body.
The marble is of a peculiarly fine texture. The
museum has also re-arranged the exhibition of
Egyptian and Assyrian art. Prominent among
the recent additions to this collection are the glazed
porcelains and sculptures in wood from the tomb
of Thothmes IV in the Valley of the Kings at
Thebes. These objects were given to the museum
in 1903 by Mr. Theodore M. Davis, who had been
engaged in the work of excavating in the royal
tombs in co-operation with the English Govern-
ment. He has also given to the museum the great
polished sandstone sarcophagus of Thothmes I,
the father of Queen Hatshepsut, in whose tomb it
was found in 1903-04.

mitted to the committee. The successful com-
petitors were Pell and Corbett, of New York.
The building will be Italian Renaissance and will
harmonize in style with Corpus Christi Church,
adjoining it. Either granite and marble, or Indiana
limestone will be used for the exterior. The main
entrance is to be on Mount Royal Avenue,
approached by a broad flight of steps. There are
to be three stories and a basement. An exhibition
gallery will be provided in the rear of the second
door to extend the entire width of the building and
from the second floor to the roof, with skylights.
Professor Otto Fuchs, long connected with the
Institute, says that facilities will be much increased
and attention will be given to many branches of
industrial art, such as stained glass, designing in
ornamental wrought iron, mosaic, wood carving,
wall paper design, etc.
