"a kingfisher": panel by alfred priest
in enamel on copper
LIVERPOOL.—Decorative art has
only a minor share of the space
at the Autumn Exhibition of the
Walker Art Gallery, yet it cer-
tainly makes a pleasant break in the
monotony of the general display of pictures,
and a few of the objects may therefore

Bethany, by Miss May L. Greville Cooksey
(page 170), presumably an ecclesiastical
decoration, is an excellent example of that
artist's design and rich colouring. Mr.
Byam Shaw's decorative composition,
Hope, is a finely-executed work modelled
in gesso and enriched with painting, leaf-
gold, mother-o'-pearl, cut stones, coral, and
pearls. Dawn is a small low relief plaster
panel (page 170), modelled with delicacy and
refinement by Miss O. B. E. Rawlins.
