not a few really fine landscape paintings; Prof.
F. Brown’s On the Thames, Miss Alice Fanner’s A
Breeze off Ramsgate and A View of Southampton
Water and the Solent from Hamble, Mr. Fairlie
Harmar’s The Laurel Walk, Mr. C. M. Gere’s A
Cotswold Holiday, and Mrs. Evelyn Cheston’s
Sedgemoor should be mentioned in this connection.
Mr. Wilson Steer’s successes, too, were entirely with
his landscapes, chiefly with the picture With the
Tide, a work full of silver light. There were many
small pictures of great interest, such as a Study of
Roses in tempera, by Miss M. Sargant Florence,
At Home, by Mr. Maxwell Armfield, The Houses
Opposite, by Mr. Alfred Hayward, The Magic Wand,
by Mr. Rudolf Ihlee, By the Sea, by Mr. Donald
Maclaren, Fille a la Lanterne, by Mr. Alfred P.
Allins'm, and A Barge, by Mr. Charles Stabb. The

of East and West; and he was also represented by
a remarkably fine portrait. Miss Ethel Walker’s
vivacious Decoration for Spring should be men-

also interesting this year. Amongst the drawings
and water-colours noticeable features were a por-

by Mr. E. G. Preston, Calderari, by Mr. A. E. John,
“ La Gossef by Mr. A. Rothenstein, In the Garden
of Images, by Miss Ethel Walker, Pont d’Avignon,
by Mr. Francis S. Unwin; the etchings of Mr. D.
S. MacLaughlan; an etching, An Old Cart-shed,
by Mr. C. S. Cheston ; the water-colours, Crossing
Rocks, by Miss U. Tyrwhitt, The Barn, by Mr.
Wilson Steer, and those of Mr. A. W. Rich ; and a
coloured wood print by M. Emile Verpilleux, The
Railway Station. _
Mr. Joseph Pennell, in the remarkable litho-
graphs he exhibited at the Fine Art Society’s
galleries last month, discovers a genuine vein of
