Studio-Talk
arrangements the simple cottage-gardens, still to be
found in so many districts of Germany, will not be
forgotten. In short, the requirements of refined
artistic sense and of popular taste will be fully
considered.
The entrance to the exhibition is in the “Fried-
richsplatz,” a public garden beautifully laid out at
the instance of the town under the supervision of
the skilful Berlin architect, B. Schmitz, who also
designed the monumental buildings which surround
it. The exhibition extends along an avenue of old
and lofty trees until it reaches the Race Course on
the banks of the Neckar. J. A. B.
MUNICH.—The two portraits of Professo?
Mommsen and Count Leo Tolstoi, of
which we give reproductions on page 76
from the original wood engravings by
Carl Josza, are interesting as examples of that art,
which, in spite of the huge development of purely
mechanical processes of reproduction during recent
years, continues to flourish vigorously in Germany,
where it is practised successfully by a large number
of artists. Herr Josza’s work in this medium has
already been made familiar to readers of The
Studio by his characteristic presentment of Adolf
von Menzel, which was reproduced as a supplement
some two years ago.
BOSTON, MASS.—Rather more than a
year ago we published in The Studio
some Leaves from the Sketch-Book
of Mr. Lester G. Hornby, a pupil of
Mr. Eric Pape, of this city. The drawings then
reproduced, and especially the Marblehead sketches,
revealed a degree of merit not often found in
students’ work, and promised well for the future
career of this young American draughtsman. In
the meantime Mr. Hornby has been seeking fresh
scenes for the exercise of his talent, and in the
course of a tour in England last summer many
interesting sketches found their way to his book.
Three of these we now reproduce. Mr. Hornby
is at the present time in Paris, where we understand
he is turning his attention to etching.
