Messrs. George Bell & Sons are showing at Mr.
McQueen's gallery, in the Haymarket, a large num-
ber of the original drawings for the illustrations in
books which they have lately published. The greater
part of the collection consists of works by Mr. Byam
Shaw, but there are contributions also from Mr.
Garth Jones, Mr. R. Anning Bell, Mr. R. T. Rose,
Mr. Reginald Blomfield, Mr. G. C. Horsley, Mr. T. R.
Way, and Miss Fortescue Brickdale. Mr. Byam
Shaw's drawings for the Chiswick Shakespeare and
for Browning's poems are perhaps the most admirable
works in black-and-white which he has so far pro-
duced. They are charming in their management of
strong and expressive line, full of ingenious and
intelligent imagination, and notably distinguished in
manner. In composition, too, they are remarkably
able, and they are marked by a very sound decora-
tive sense. Mr. Garth Jones, Mr. Anning Bell, and
Miss Brickdale show, respectively, illustrations of
much importance for Milton's poems, Shelley's,
Keats's, and other poems, and " Ivanhoe"; and
Mr. R. T. Rose some drawings of subjects from the
Book of Job. Mr. Blomfield, Mr. Horsley, and Mr.
Way are responsible for a number of architectural
drawings. Several very attractive examples of book-
binding are included in the exhibition.
Mr. A. W. Rich, encouraged by the success of
the exhibition he held last year at the Egyptian
Hall, has recently organised another show of his
water-colours in the hall of the Alpine Club. By
this second appeal to public notice he fully con-
firmed the good impression which he made last
spring, and he amply justified the high opinion
formed by the many people who have studied his
work during recent years. He bears extremely well
the test of a one-man show, for despite his strongly
individual manner, he is singularly free from con-
ventionality. He has the rare quality of style, and
his interpretation of nature, sensitive and sincere as
it is, is always controlled by artistic taste of the
