photographs, many of which reached to a hitherto
unattained perfection. The Baron de Meyer’s
Fountain Villa Lante, After Lunch, Still Life, The
Chinese Idol, and his portrait of His Majesty the
King were remarkable triumphs. Mr. Coburn’s
portraits, though apparently failing sometimes in
characteristic likeness, are a valuable series, essen-
tially distinguished in treatment.
The Carfax Gallery held a small exhibition of
water-colours by Mr. Francis McComas, whose
work has a perfection of its own in style and shows
unusual appreciation of beauty.
James was well represented ; and important exhi-
bitors were Messrs. A. F. W. Hayward, Theodore
Roussel, J. D. Fergusson, Stuart Park, Mouat
Loudon, and A. Westlcy Manning.
Mr. Baillie simultaneously was holding an
exhibition of French drawings, remarkable for the
valuable collection of work by C. Guys, chiefly
drawings executed in the middle half of the last
century, work full of fire and vigour, but always
with a controlling sense of beauty. An interesting
paper upon this artist was written for The Studio-
in March, 1905, by M. Frantz.
The Baillie Gallery Annual Flower-
Painting Exhibition was of quite as
interesting a character as it has been
formerly, and the beautiful art seems
to flourish under the encouragement
it receives each year from these
exhibitions. Here is a channel into
which all individualities of style may
flow, providing most fascinating
study for those interested in the
methods of modern painting. The
dignity of Fantin Latour and of
Vollon was not approached by any
of the other painters. Mr. George
Clausen, R.A., perhaps shows the
nicest understanding of character
of his task and paints with the most
sympathy. Miss Jessie Algie’s Car-
nations, Mrs. Harbuck’s Bluebells,
Pink Campion and Wild Garlick,
Miss Ella Williamson’s Blackthorn
were pictures which also showed
great appreciation of the character
of the flowers and the arrangement
and treatment required to give that
character emphasis. Mr. Francis

A GALLEON OF THE ARMADA
IN WROUGHT COPPER
BY FREDK. APPLEYARD AND
FRANK H. MASON, R.B.A.
We give on this page an illustration of a deco-
rative ship, designed and executed by Messrs. F.
Appleyard and Frank H. Mason, R.B.A.,in wrought
copper, repousse, and champleve enamel. The
design is generally based upon the type of ship of
the Elizabethan period, and is intended to become
part of a scheme of decoration of
that period. The work has been
carried out entirely by hand, all bar
and sheet being reforged. Riveting
and brazing are the chief means used
in its construction, and it is thirty
inches high and twenty-four long.
One of the most interesting exhibitions of the
month was that of the cabinet pictures and
etchings of Mr. Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A., at the
Fine Art Society’s. Two large decorative wall-
pieces were also added, and another item was the
study for the panel executed by the artist for the
photographs, many of which reached to a hitherto
unattained perfection. The Baron de Meyer’s
Fountain Villa Lante, After Lunch, Still Life, The
Chinese Idol, and his portrait of His Majesty the
King were remarkable triumphs. Mr. Coburn’s
