turn readily to the plastic arts and find
in almost any one of them a means for
self-expression. In the case of Baron
Rosenkrantz an instinctive feeling for
design, a power of selection and arrange-
ment of form that naturally ensure inter-
esting composition, are supplemented
by a gift for colour and a love of it in
rich forms. This latter trait has to
some extent shaped his artistic destiny
and led him to the designing of stained-
glass windows. In this form of art he
also finds a legitimate channel for express-
ing the sentiment of religious tradition.
With this tradition and its history the
art of stained glass is itself bound up,
and the modern designer may adhere
to its many well-tried conventions, or he
may either brush them aside altogether,

“draught horses”
BY DONALD SHAW MACLAUGHLAN
MacLaughlan, who was born in Boston, has
travelled a good deal in this old Europe of ours ;
throughout Italy, from north to south, this new
Saint-Non has engraved the curious and the
picturesque in all their aspects. Parma, Pavia,
Bologna, the whole of Tuscany, the "Roman Cam-
pagna, the delightful Tivoli—so dear to Fragonard
—and the Neapolitan district—all in turn have
seen this patient, thoughtful, conscientious artist
engaged in the task of engraving their essential
beauties.
It may interest the collector to know that very
few impressions of Mr. MacLaughlan’s etchings
are printed, and that they are not numbered. The
artist’s pride has set this limit to the collector’s
mania. H. F.
