Studio- Talk
Messrs. Elkington, with a panel in enamels by
Mr. Alex. Fisher. The casket was presented to
the King of Italy by the Corporation of London
on the occasion of his Majesty's visit to the City.
" Old London " is of particular interest now that
the street renovations in course of progress are
removing so many ancient landmarks. Mr. F. L.
Emanuel has made what may almost be called
a speciality of these old buildings, and we have
pleasure in giving illustrations of some of his
drawings.
EDINBURGH.—The question most keenly
discussed in Edinburgh studios, and
indeed in art circles in Scotland at
present, is the future of the National
Gallery and the better housing cf the Royal
Scottish Academy. For long it had been felt by
those interested that if Scotland were not to become
a mere annex to London, and a source for supplying
London exhibitions and societies with some of
their best work and some of their most talented
members, something must be done to put the
national galleries upon a sounder footing, and to
provide adequate accommodation for a really
representative exhibition of Scottish art; and the
unjust, but in the issue fortunate, position taken up
by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach when pressed by the
Scottish members for a grant to purchase pictures,
afforded—through the appointment of a Depart-
mental Committee to enquire into the administration
of the Board of Manufactures, as the trustees for
art matters in Scotland are quaintly styled—an
opportunity for bringing these matters before the
Government. The report recently issued by that
committee, which recommends the building of a
new National Gallery, the handing over to the
Royal Scottish Academy—who had offered to
transfer its valuable collections to the nation—of
both suites of rooms in the present gallery on the
Mound, better provision for the National and the
starved National Portrait Gallery, and new arrange-
ments for the School of Art, has met with great
general approval, and everyone is hoping that
something tangible will result.
Mr. S. J. Peploe described the exhibition of his
pictures held here in November as "some studies
in oil and pastel," and the designation sums up
not inaptly the impression left by the show. But
if few of these " studies " were informed with that
savour of refined or profound emotion stirred by
the spectacle of life and nature, and that quest for
