A WOODED COMMON OF THE COTSWOLDS
BY SIR ALFRED EAST
ing; Birch Trees by Dahl-
green and Horter’s exquisite
plate of Madison Square.
Mr. J. Harsen Purdy has
presented to the New York
Public Library his splendid
collection of engravings by
William Faithorne, which
has been on exhibition at
the Library during the sum-
mer and is still on view.
The exhibition has been
visited by large numbers of
people and has created a
great deal of interest. It is
a matter for congratulation
that after the exhibition is
over the collection will re-
main permanently available,
in the Library’s division of
prints, for students of the
graphic arts.
Collections of Faithorne’s
the portrait of Antoine Arnauld, a crayon draw-
ing in black and red, which Mr. Ederheimer
has used as a frontispiece to a most attractive
catalogue, containing a thoughtful essay on the
Master by Louis R. Metcalfe, whom Mr. Eder-
heimer describes in his preface as Nanteuil’s
work are not common, and the present one, re-
markable in its extent as well as in rich quality of
impressions, wou]d be—to speak conservatively—-
most unusual even in England. Faithorne is an
important figure in the annals of line engraving on
copper in Great Britain. Influenced by the ex¬
prophet in this country.
October 15 Mr. Robertson, of the Brown-
Robertson Company, commenced his opening
exhibition of etchings at his galleries 707 Fifth
Avenue, with an even hundred plates most typical
ample of the French engravers, Mellan and Nan-
teuil, he yet found a force of expression that was
both individual and national. This last quality
is naturally accentuated in that portion of his
work which was his best and most important—-
and representative of the best American etching
of today. To mention a few exhibitors: Charles
the portraits. His activity extended from the
reign of Charles I through the Commonwealth.
W. Dahlgreen, George Aid,
Jerome Blum, Arthur Covey,
Earl H. Reed, Earl Horter,
George W. Chandler, Eu-
gene Higgins and Bertha
Jacques. Mr. Pierson^, who
has some very striking new
plates, operated a printing
press in the center of the
gallery, thus interesting
many visitors in the pro-
cesses at work in turning
out a proof. A notable fea-
ture of the exhibition was a
display of plates by Anne
Goldthwaite, whose dancers
aroused keen interest by
their originality and feel-
