DECORATIONS FOR THE MUSIC ROOM OF A PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP BY PROF. GERALD MOIRA
pliment that could ever be paid to any landscape
exhibition, by saying that to visit it was like paying
a visit to the country._
The two designs which we reproduce of Professor
Gerald Moira's were carried out for the decoration
of a music room in one of the P. and O. Com-
pany's steamships. Prof. Moira has always been
one of the most successful of our few modern
mural decorators. It is his gift to combine
tradition with modernity and freedom of design,
and to achieve in colour results quite individual
but perfectly subservient to the end in view.
The first exhibition of the Senefelder Club dis-
appointed us a little in its neglect of the more
autographic and spontaneous form of lithography.
Mr. Charles Shannon's two drawings, a beautiful
little panel by Mr. Anning-Bell, and Mons. T. F.
Raffaelli's Luxembourg exemplified this side of the
art at its best and Cottet's Feux de la Saint Jean,
Mr. A. S. Hartrick's and Mr. H. Becker's designs
supplemented the drawings, thus showing the free
use of the lithographic chalk. Also in this con-
nection the works of Messrs. T. R. Way, T. Kerr
Lawson, E. R. Hope, A. Belleroche, M. Bauer,
J. Pennell, Ethel Gabain, and A. Lepere might be
mentioned, and all these artists supplied peculiarly
interesting works. _
