The National Competition
DESIGN FOR OAK CHEST BY CHARLES TAUNTON
WITH INLAID PANELS (REGENT STREET POLYTECHNIC)
and delicacy of detail. Among
the most striking of the small
quarries are the subjects, I have
Trodden the Winepress, So the Sun
Returned, and Break Forth into
Singing, O Forest; and perhaps
the finest of the Apocalypse studies
is the complex group The Holy City,
in which secondary subjects are
ingeniously introduced. The sym-
bology throughout is very rich and
suggestive. Several Birmingham
students have unconsciously imi-
tated this original designer; but
others, such as Geraldine Morris
(whose work is well known in these
competitions), Margaret A. Rope
and Ida L. Kay, have maintained
and cultivated a style of their own.
In this group of exhibits the whole
process, including the finished
work, is admirably shown ; especi-
ally so in Margaret A. Rope’s clever
designs for Goblin Market, which
have quite a genuine Pre-Raphaelite
flavour, and in the quiet and dignified
panel by Jennie H. Wood(Manches-
ter, Cavendish Street), in which
Street), There are also some tasteful
little decorations for panels in gesso
for a smoker’s cabinet, by George
Jessop (Derby), but there is a
singular dearth of designs for such
common and essential things as
beds, couches, chairs, and tables.
Special mention should be made,
however, of a charming little series
of panels modelled in plaster, of
little girls dancing, suitable for ex-
ecution in gesso on a cabinet, by
Florence Longstaff (Durham).
The work in stained glass falls
naturally beside this group of
designs, and the most original of
this year’s exhibits are by Bertram
Lamplugh (Birmingham). He sends
several sheets of designs for small
square panes, mostly representing
subjects from the Apocalypse, which
are treated in a quite original key
of feeling and imagination, and
