the open air, and it is the
Malvern country that has
provided him with the
subjects of most of his
important pictures. This
constant work direct with
Nature, although serving
to accumulate a wealth
of accurate observation,
would have tended, per-
haps, to the prejudice of
the best artistic results
had it not been for a
corrective coming from
the contemporary school
of decorative landscape
work. It is, perhaps, to
the personal and artistic
influence of the late Sir
Alfred East that one
may trace the more con-

general purposes of life was demonstrated beyond
question by the exhibition as a whole. A few
examples of Greek typography were included, but

spent at the Worcester Royal Porcelain Works as
decorative artist, after leaving school, may also
count for something in this direction. In 1895-6

we observed no specimens
of printing from Russia
and other Slav countries
where the Cyrillic alphabet
or a modification of it is
in use, though here, too, a
movement has been on
foot during recent years
for effecting a much
needed improvement
Lettering plays such an
immense part in our lives
that one cannot but hope
that this exhibition at the
South London Art Gallery
—said to be the first of
the kind ever held in Great
Britain—will be followed
by others in due course.
