Some New Decorations
DESIGN BY GERALD MOIRA
decoration direct in the hands of artists instead of
trusting it to a firm. This frieze is broken by
two arches leading to the staircase, the spandrels
of which are occupied by figures of Ariel, with
Ferdinand and Isabella to the left and Caliban
and Trinculo to the right. “ The Merry Wives
of Windsor ” (Falstaff as the Old Woman of Brent-
ford), “ Macbeth ” (the Banqueting Scene), and
“The Merchant of Venice” (the Trial Scene),
supply the themes for the remaining panels,
which are on a scale of about three-quarter life-
size. The colouring is gay, but kept broad and
light in tone, and the whole work a worthy suc-
cessor to the Trocadero. The two artists have
now in hand a scheme for the decoration of a
private library, which will be illustrated in our
pages later.
