CORONATION MEDAL ISSUED BY THE ROYAL MINT

these by another equally
interesting example.
The Pastel Society’s
Exhibition at the Gal-
leries of the Royal
Institute was as success-
ful as ever as a picture
exhibition, but in the
majority of cases paste)
was only used in rivalry
with—that is, to attain
the same effect as—oil
Mr. Frank J. Jones, of whose
wood-carving we give two illus-
trations on the opposite page,
tells us that the work was done
as a recreation in his leisure time.
He has had but few oppor-
tunities of obtaining instruction
in this branch of work, and in
fact his teaching has been chiefly
through the pages of The Studio.
Besides designing the carving of
the altar table and retable he
executed the whole of the wood-
work.

ONDON.—The medal struck by the Royal
Mint in commemoration of the corona-

and Queen Mary has no doubt by this
time found its way into many collections, but for
the sake of those who have not already seen it we
give above a reproduction of it.
The plaque in repousse copper and enamels by
Mr. J. W. Wilkinson, which we
reproduce below, is an instance
of triumph in adapting to design
natural forms with very little
modification: pattern surviving
side by side with a realism that
except in expert hands is fatal to
pattern.
We gave recently two examples
of stained glass designed by Mr.
