DANTE BY HARRY LEWIS RAUL
inter alia a policeman and an undertaker, very
clever and amusing caricatures in black and white.
Ethel Louise Paddock had a big pastel on view,
entitled Fire—a tenement house in flames, with
the usual crowd of gazers, a very clever sketch,
indeed.
Glenn 0. Coleman was represented by some
good street scenes, entitled Off Park Row and
Sunday Afternoon.
The club closes its second year with this exhibi-
tion, and purposes to pursue the same policy next
season, that is to say, holding group exhibitions
twice a month and maintaining as much as possi-
ble an open gallery, open to the various art move-
ments, old or new.
This has been a great print season, and there
have been many exhibitions among the leading
printsellers. Kennedy & Co. have been showing
new plates by Affleck, Bejot, Fitton and others,
four fine plates by Percival Gaskell; also the work
of Johnston Baird, Sion and On the Dee being fine
examples of his art. A. V. and Thomas R. Cong-
don are big contributors, and the catalogue in-
cludes some twenty plates by Stanley Anderson.
Hahlo & Co. have been showing the work of the
British Society of Graver-Printers in Colour,
printed from wooden blocks or from metal plates,
every print being conceived, engraved and printed
by the artist. F. Marriott finds choice “bits”
and makes delightful pictures. His A Normandy
Farm House and The Old Gateway, Bruges, are very
characteristic. Allen W. Seaby showed some
good plates, especially The Shore. W. Lee Han-
key showed six capital plates, of which The Cave
Maiden and The Back Door are the most striking.
The Irish Kelp Burners and London Fog were two
especially good plates shown by E. L. Lawrenson.
Sydney Lee caused pleasure to print lovers with
The Bridge and The House on the Hill.
Two of our illustrations show the work of Mr.
Harry Lewis Raul, sculptor, of Easton, Pa., one
of which, Old Glory, is strongly indicative of the
artist’s endeavor to portray the ideal Union soldier
of the Civil War, and the flag for which he fought,
always mindful of the fact that the men who saved
the Union were mainly volunteers. This statue
in bronze will be mounted upon a simple granite
pedestal and placed at Lansdowne, Pa., as the
Soldiers’ Monument of Delaware County. The
figure itself is eight feet high, eleven feet with the
pedestal.
A former student of Frank Edwin Elwell, Mr.
Raul entered the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts, studying under Charles Grafly. He found
time, besides, to study drawing and painting,
under Frank Vincent Dumond and other noted
men at the Art Students’ League in New York and
the New York School of Art. Since then he has
been in the active pursuit of his profession, com-
pleting numerous pieces of sculpture, including an
heroic bronze statue of Dr. Traill Green, first
president of the American Academy of Medicine.
