In the Galleries
A really delightful exhibition of architectural
etchings on view at the Louis Katz Galleries gives
an opportunity to compare the excellencies of the
work of Hedley Fitton, Axel H. Haig, Andrew
Affleck and Albany E. Howarth, who have all
been honoured in London, Stockholm and Paris.
Men of the North are all these etchers and some-
thing of the sturdiness and decision of the early
adventures are shown in their splendidly etched
plates. The work of these four artists is singu-
larly harmonious, not only in theme but in method
of treatment. Architectural in subject, there is
much of poetry and real feeling in the manner of
presenting these glimpses of the picturesque
cathedrals, castles and corners of the old world.
The Gallery of Messrs. Gimpel & Wildenstein
was filled during December with choice American,
French and English drawings owned by Mr. A. E.
Gallatin. The object was to benefit the Junior
League, for which purpose thousands of people
willingly paid twenty-five cents entry. Whistler,
Shinn, Haskell and Pennell were well represented.
Rothenstein’s portrait of Mr. Gallatin is a capital
bit of draughtsmanship. Pen-and-inksby Forain,
a monotype Degas paysage, an etching by Rodin, a
lithograph by Shannon and John W. Alexander’s
charcoal sketch of Whistler made the exhibition
very interesting; simultaneously, the contem-
porary graphic art of Hungary, Bohemia and
Austria was on view in the galleries of the Berlin
Photographic Company, following Mr. Birnbaum’s
successful handling of the Leon Bakst exhibition.

A large exhibition of a hundred numbers has
just closed at the Montross Galleries, where visit-
ors have seen excellent sculpture and paintings by
Robert and Bessie Potter Vonnoh.

AFTERGLOW BY ANNA MILO UPJOHN
Small sketches, such as Mother and
Child, The Dance, The Scarf, An
Ideal, The Fan, are charming.
Among the paintings the strong por-
traits of Daniel Chester French and
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell were particularly
satisfactory.
An exhibition of real significance
has just concluded at 366 Fifth
Avenue, where Mr. Richard Eder-
heimer had on view a hundred origi-
nal drawings by Old Masters.
Sketches often reveal the master
more than finished pictures. In
this collection, beautifully cata-
logued by Mr. Ederheimer, were seen
splendid examples of the Primitives,
German and Swiss masters of the
sixteenth century, including Diirer
and Beham; Italian masters—several
Titians and a Crucifixion by Tintor-
