DESIGN FOR BOOKCOVER BY FANNY PICKERING
water-colours by Miss Blanche Baker, which can
be praised as tender and suggestive records of
judiciously selected landscape subjects.
The Dudley Gallery Art Society's Exhibition,
though as usual a little over-weighted with
amateur work, contained some drawings of
unquestionable merit. The best things were
Miss M. Bernard's landscape On the Moor,
near Witnborne, and Hayle, from Lelant Station,
Cornwall; Mrs. R. Hake's Posslyn Chapel,
North Porch; Mr. D. Green's Blowing Fresh;
Miss A. J. Rudd's Blakeney, Norfolk; Dartmoor,
by Mr. E. F. Wells, and the vigorous and well
characterised Portrait of Mr. Walter Severn, by
Mr. Ivan Lindhe. This portrait was in many
ways the most accomplished drawing in the show.
DESIGN FOR BOOKCOVER BY FANNY PICKERING
LIVERPOOL.—In the exhibition of the
Liverpool School of Art students' work
for last year there is evidence that the
usual high standard in figure-drawing is
well maintained, and the influence of this is per-
ceivable in each branch of design. The studies
from life by Constance Read, Gilbert Rogers,
Charles Sharpe, Albert Dodd, John Berrie, and
Charles Howarth, are particularly good in quality.
The design and execution of embroidery has
become a leading feature in this school, and
amongst some fine examples is Helena Shaw's
portiere in a beautiful colour-scheme of yellows
and browns. Several excellent cot covers, some
in silk upon linen, and some in embroidered
applique, are worked by Frances Jones; and her
embroidered linen teacloth is also a very satis-
factory performance.
