irregularity in the planning of the rooms detracted
somewhat from otherwise very successful work.
Among the pictures may be singled out the
portraits by Dudley Heath, that of Kungpah T.
King being a fascinating study. Fred. Taylor’s
sombre and striking landscape (No. io) recalls in
a curious and subtle way the wonderful atmosphere
of Thomas Hardy’s description of Egdon Heath.
A water-colour by Alfred Dennis (No. 68a) called
for notice, and above it was an interesting photo-
graphic colour-print by Mr. Fred. Hollyer, junior.
Two charming etchings, of Chelsea Reacb and
Heybridge Basin, were contributed by Luke
Taylor, A.R.E. Lionel Heath sent three delight-
ful miniatures.
The water-colour drawing, Dinant-sur-Meuse,
which we give this month as a coloured Supple-
ment, well represents the water-colours of Mrs. Mary
Stormont, examples of whose work in this medium
have appeared in earlier numbers of The Studio.
Apart from the excellence of the handling and the
very good colour, the originality of this com-
position contributes not a little to its charm.
An interesting feature of the exhibition recently
held at Letchworth, in Connection with the Garden
City movement, was the cottage furniture designed
by Mr. Ambrose Heal, Jun., and executed by the
firm of Heal & Son, of London, examples of which
are shown in the accompanying Illustration. Pre-
senting, as it does, a happy combination of pleasing
design and substantial construction, while entailing
but moderate expense, this sort of furniture recom-
mends itself more particularly as suitable for Week-
end cottages, small country
villas, and similar dwellings.
The Exhibition of Arts
and Crafts held in July and
September at the Lyceum
Club consisted of a con-
siderable portion of the
works which were exhibited
last winter in the Wertheim
galleries at Berlin, and
which were afterwards trans-
ferred to Hamburg, Düssel-
dorf, Bremen, and Cologne.
Before being sent to Berlin
the exhibits were judged
and selected by the follow-
ing committee :—Mr. C. R.
Ashbee, Mr. Frank Brang-
wyn, A.R.A., Mr. Walter
Crane, Mr. Douglas Cocke-
rell, Mr. F. H. Newbery,
Mr. W. Reynolds-Stephens,
Mr. Curt Steeving, and Mr.
E. R. Taylor. Over ,£300
worth of these exhibits were
sold in Germany, and,
though the exhibition in
London was open only
during the so-called “dead”
season, very large sales
nevertheless resulted.
No branch of applied art
was neglected in this exhibi-
