NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY:
PRINT GALLERY
In the print gallery (Room 321) of the
New York Public Library there has been
opened an exhibition of a kind very un-
usual in this country. It consists of the
works of a noted British seventeenth-cen-
tury engraver, William Faithorne. The
display is not only of a fullness made possi-
ble only by showing a noted private collec-
tion, but the prints are remarkable in ex-
cellence of condition and beauty of impres-
sion. Faithorne studied in France and ac-
quired a certain neatness and richness of
stroke; the influence of Mellan is often ap-
parent. He turned his hand to various
things—designs for fountains after Fanelli,
titles, frontispieces, book illustrations (a
number of the Library’s books with plates
by him are shown), maps, book plates,
even some political cartoons, and a pack of
playing cards illustrating the great fire of
London, the “horrid Popish plot,’’murders,
executions and other events of the reign of
Charles II.
But his chief and best work consists of
portraits. These particularly emphasize
the historical interest of the present ex-
hibit. Faithorne’s activity—he was born
in 1616 and died in 1691—extended from
the reign of Charles I, through the inter-
vening Commonwealth, into that of
Charles II. In his portraits the great fig-
ures of that period pass before us: royalty,
nobles, statesmen, jurists, divines, poets,
musicians, often with evident strength of
characterization. As Flatman avowed,
Faithorne’s signature under a portrait was
“a charm can save
From dull oblivion and a gaping grave.”
The names of William Harvey, Arch-
bishops Ussher and Laud, Cromwell,
Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford,
Thomas Killigrew, Mace, the musician,
Thomas Hobbes, Richard Hooker and, of
course, the Kings, Charles I and II, and
many others appear, bringing with them a
wealth of associated ideas. The whole
period of British history rises vividly be-
fore us, expressed in these pictures of those
who played their parts, large or small, good
or bad, in the scenes of those days. The
interest of this exhibit is much wider and
diverse than the mere mention of this old
engraver’s name might indicate to many.
Following its usual custom, the print
division of the Library has placed on view
literature relating to the artist. The exhi-
bition will remain on view to the end of
September.
■ At the same time the exhibits of fifteenth
and sixteenth century engravings and of
“recent additions to the print collection”
(many of which are part of the S. P. Avery
Collection) remain on view in the Stuart
Gallery, and the W. B. Parsons collection
of early railway prints in the main exhibi-
tion room. Such variety not only serves
a larger public, but emphasizes both the
inclusiveness of the Library’s print collec-
tion and scope of its plans for the future.
IFT OF A PICTURE
An oil painting of Hedwig, a girl of
Palling, Bavaria, by the late Jean Paul
Selinger, a well-known Boston artist, has
been added to the Walter Copeland Bryant
collection, Brockton, Mass., the picture
being the gift of the artist’s widow, Mrs.
Emily Selinger.
