Mount Street School of Art, Liverpool
two-plate stencil from the life
by gilbert rogers
etching, and some advanced work by Elizabeth Decker,
Ethel Stewart and Arthur Quigley, and some clever animal
studies by Mary Kershaw were noteworthy; all of these
showed good appreciation of line and composition.
Well-designed and skilfully-executed embroideries also
engaged our attention, especially the work of Helena Shaw,
whose sideboard cloth of linen applique with heraldic animals,
bordered by gold and silver threads and stitched with silks,
was simply treated and very effective ; as a contrast, another
sideboard cloth was richly embroidered in silk upon Harris
linen, designed and worked by the same student.
Eve McClure and Fanny Pickering showed some
excellent embroideries, and in the ambitious panel of a
done in the school by lithography. The
treatment of the design, however, is the
same as for block printing, a delightful
process for book decoration.
For block printing on fabrics, the
design for a cotton hanging by Marie
Farnworth and a printing on silk by Kate
Fisher were both very attractive.
Among the many interesting pen-and-
ink illustrations, some tail-pieces by M, E.
Lloyd had the most distinction.
Mount Street School is perhaps one
of the best equipped for copper-plate stencilled tanel of a portiere by albert dodd
