BOOK-PLATE BY HAROLD NELSON
The earliest examples of book-plates were
usually purely heraldic in character, and the art
of heraldry, in the midst of much that is frankly
pictorial in its most modern sense, still holds its
own, recent work showing the practically endless
possibilities for good decoration which the sub-
ject affords. Mr. Harold Nelson's work in this
connection is familiar to readers of The Studio;
he is thoroughly in love with his work, and if
Ruskin's dictum be true that " Fine Art is that
in which the hand, the head, and the heart of
man go together," Mr. Nelson's work should
not fail to achieve a share of fame. We give
illustrations of some of his recent designs.
The sketch.of Evening Shadows: Amalfi,
by Mr. Walter Donne, reproduced here as a
supplement, is now being exhibited at the
Goupil Gallery Salon, 5 Regent Street, S.W.,
the excellent suite of rooms which Messrs.
William Marchant & Co. have recently added
to their premises. Mr. Donne, who is well-
known amongst students as the principal of
the Grosvenor Life School, is an artist of con-
siderable ability, both as a figure painter and
landscapist, and the latter side of his work has
348
been brought prominently before the public
by the series of large and interesting can-
vases exhibited at the Royal Academy
during the last few years. Admirably
equipped, both by his training and natural
instincts, his pictures invariably show vigour
of conception and soundness of technique,
together with a fine sense of the treatment
of light and shade and balance of com-
position.
Among recent elections to the Royal
Institute of Painters in Oil Colours, that of
Mr. C. M. Q. Orchardson is a subject for
congratulation amongst those interested in
that highly important factor in London art
education, the St. John's Wood Art School,
of which he is the successful principal
