DOORWAY BY R. S. LORIMER
EDINBURGH.—We give here illustrations
of an interesting series of designs by
Mr. R. S. Lorimer, A.R.S.A., F.R.I.B.A.
The heraldic memorial tablet reproduced
on p. 319 and that to the memory of Lieut.
Arthur William Swanston reproduced on p. 321,
are both executed in oak, and occur in the
framing at the back of the stalls lining the Chapel
of Loretto School, and both are painted in the
appropriate heraldic colours. Another school
memorial to alumni who lost their lives while
fighting for their country is that shown on the
last-named page. This likewise has been exe-
cuted in fumed wainscot oak, painted and gilded,
the colour being toned down. The doorway on this
page belongs to Craigmile House, Aberdeenshire,
and is executed in granite, the coat-of-arms dis-
played above being that of the family of
Robertson-Glasgow. The bishop’s chair for the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Murrayfield, was
made in oak fumed and waxed.
GLASGOW.—Rich in variety and abun-
dant in interest is the forty-sixth annual
Exhibition of the Royal Glasgow Insti-
tute of the Fine Arts. The placing of
the thousand selected works is highly creditable to the
hanging committee, for in most sections a harmony
has been secured without which the association of
colour becomes distracting. There may be inci-
dental exceptions to complete success in this; as,
for example, on the end wall in one of the principal
rooms, where the strong note of colour in a blue
gown is, in the daytime, reflected on a striking
representation of the close of a winter day, accen-
tuating the chill effect in a way not contemplated
by the artist. Again, the rich, almost aggressive
sumptuousness of colour in the picture of a pool in
the same room discounts to some extent the effort
and arrangement of a whole corner.
Circumstances and events have conspired to
invest quite a number of pictures in this year’s
show with a special interest. Foremost amongst
these comes Summer Morn, by George Henry,
A.R.A, R.S.W., the strikingly decorative figure-
study shown by the distinguished Glasgow artist
at the New Gallery. Then there is Indian Leopards^
