77/r National Competition
which are shown complete) by H. D. Richter
(Bath), a lectern in plaster model by Katherine
Wallis (South Kensington), a panel, " Peace," and
other decorations for a music-room, by Douglas
Crockett (Holloway), and a nursery frieze, by
Jessie M. King (Glasgow).
The drawings of animals for decoration by
George Marples (South Kensington), J. J. Brown-
sword (South Kensington), and others must be
referred to in a special note later on, both sets won
well-merited gold medals. A design by Mary
Appleton, here reproduced, elicited both a gold
medal and also special approval from the
judges.
The critical verdict of 1897 is distinctly the
most satisfactory that South Kensington has yet
deserved. Established with the special purpose of
training designers—not painters of easel pictures
—it seems at last fully started on the right road,
and before long the old reproach that manufac-
turers observed the unwritten rule—" No students
of South Kensington need apply," will be for-
gotten—except as a gibe that, whatever its founda-
tion years back, is now totally unmerited.
