Reviews and Notices
include The Drawings of A. von Menzel, by Prof.
H. W. Singer ; The Drawings of John M. Swan,
R.A., by A. Lys Baldry, and The Drawings of
David Cox, by A. J. Finberg. The numerous
drawings reproduced in each volume seem to have
been selected with discrimination and rendered
with fidelity ; while the introductory essays, it is
hardly necessary to say, are written by critics of
recognized ability. Of especial interest to the
student are the animal drawings of Mr. Swan,
whose remarkable power in this direction is well
shown by the examples given.
The price of The Year's Art (Hutchinson & Co.)
is 3s. 6d. net—not is. 6d. as stated in our notice
last month.
Artists and others who desire to possess worthy
reproductions of the newly-disclosed Turner
pictures will be interested to learn that a series of
admirable photographs of these remarkable works
has been taken by Messrs. W. A. Mansell &
Co., of 405 Oxford Street, London. In order to
reproduce as nearly as possible the colour tone of
the original, the photographs are printed either in
sepia or in grey platinotype, from 12 in. by 10 in.
plates, with results that are completely satisfactory.
The set of twenty-one is published in a neat port-
folio at the price of 505. net.
Herr Heinrich Wirsing, the young Munich sculp-
tor on whose work an article appeared in our
November number, desires us to correct a slight
misapprehension which has been occasioned in
Germany by a passage referring to his relations
with Prof. Hildebrand, which seemed to imply that
he was one among a number of pupils of the Pro-
fessor who does not take pupils. Herr Wirsing
explains that he migrated to Munich in 1899 be-
cause the Professor was settled there, and in that
and the following year received from him valuable
advice ; thereafter, however, he contented himself
with studying the Professor's works and writings.
