DESIGN FOR A MENU CARD BY MISS ANNIE MCLEISH
coloured decoration and illustrative work the
personality of Mr. Anning Bell naturally influences
the quality of designs produced by his pupils;
but evident as this is, there is besides a quality
of originality and invention which proves that
individuality is also developed.
A students' competition for a Nursery Frieze
produced several compositions excellent both in
drawing and colouring. A portion of Miss Enid
Jackson's design is illustrated here. A coloured
sketch design for a Panel in a Wardrobe, by Hamel
Lister, is spirited and original; he is also to be
commended for his stencilled frieze, The Court of
Peacocks, and for his small coloured gesso panel,
The Romaunt of the Rose. The Book Illustrations
by G. Behrend are of interest for their graceful
drawing.
Under the careful training of Mr. Chas. J. Allen,
the modelling students show ability principally in
panels designed from natural foliage. Amongst these
are noticeable Pear, by Miss G. E. M. Beckett;
Oak, by Wm. Webb; Ivy, by Basil Stallybrass;
and Honeysuckle, by J. Griffiths. Each of these
192
examples shows well balanced, restrained decora-
tions. The brass and copper class, instructed by
Mr. Richard L. B. Rathbone, has been so recently
formed that only a small output can be shown, but
case No. 283 contains some good examples of
raising and repousse, those executed by H. Eck-
stein, Miss M. A. Pollexfen, C. E. Thompson,
J. Pride, and E. C. Woods being among the more
noteworthy. Mr. J. Platts' wrought-iron class show
specimens of skill in forging, grouped in one exhibit
which prove that this is not the least progressive
of the handicrafts at University College.
The improved quality of decorative design at
the Mount Street School of Art is traceable to the
influence of the new head-master, Mr. Frederick
Burridge. In the book-covers, wall-paper, and
tile designs Lonley Cole shows carefully thought-
out colour schemes. Miss Florence Cartwright's
designs for Embroidered Book-covers, Painted Tiles
