OAK STATIONERY CABINET WITH BRASS HANDLES BY A. W. SIMPSON
work shown was completed by examples from the
brush of Sir Charles Holroyd, Professor C. J.
Holmes, Mr. Alfred East, A.R.A., Mr. Oliver Hall
and Mr. A. W. Rich, and some remarkable bronzes
by Kathleen Bruce. _
At Mr. John Baillie’s Annual Arts and Crafts
Exhibition such well known jewellery-workers as
Mrs. Hadaway, Mrs. Arthur Gaskin, and Mr.
Harold Stabler were represented at their best, and
the statuettes of Mr. Stabler, Mr. Reginald Wells
and Miss Gwendoline Williams were all of an
important order. The Martin ware and the
Lancastrian lustre ware was in both cases of ex-
ceptional quality. The great variety of artistic and
ingenious toys sent from Vienna, some of which
have been illustrated in The Studio from time to
time, proved a source of great interest to every-
one. Mrs. Dora Stone’s exquisitely-worked silk
pictures, and the water-colour drawings by
Millicent Sowerby illustrating “A Child’s Garden
of Verses” and “Yesterday’s Children,” gave a
charming interest to the walls of the centre
room. Miss Jessie Bayes’ illuminated inscrip-
tions and manuscripts grow more elaborate and
successful in treatment every year. Amongst
the many examples of good jewellery we should
not overlook that of Mrs. Linnell, Mrs. Hilda
Keane, Misses Kirkpatrick, F. Stern, Gladys
Falcke, M. Audrey, and Margaret Claike ; for
Mr. Baillie admitted nothing that was not of a
standard deserving praise.
The oil sketch by Mr. Frank Brang-
wyn, A.R.A., which we here reproduce
in colours as a supplement, represents
an early stage in the evolution of the
panel which now finds a place at the
Royal Exchange. The final version has
already been reproduced in these pages along
with various sketches which also played a part in
its genesis.
CARLISLE.—The two articles in oak by
Mr. A. W. Simpson shown on this
page were exhibited at the last annual
exhibition of the Cumberland and
Westmorland Society of Arts and Crafts, where,
in addition to an interesting display of pictures by
various arlists, including Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Collingwood, Mr. Geo. Wright, Mr. W. Henry
Watson, Mr. P. Greville Hudson, Mr. J. D. Ken-
worthy, Mr. Will Tyler, Mr. Thos. Bushby, Mr.
James Atherton (head master of the School of
Art here), Miss Sumner and Miss Hartley, there
was, as usual, a capital muster of applied art
productions by North Country craftsmen.
Mr. Marcus B. Huish, of the Fine
Art Society and Director of the New
Dudley Gallery, held in December,
at the latter place, an exhibition of
his own very skilfully executed and
delightful water-colours dealing with
subjects in the Moray Firth and the
Sussex Downs.
Her Majesty the Queen has bought from the
Fine Art Society’s galleries a water-colour called
The Aventine from the Tiber—Night, by Senor
Gustave Bacarisas, who held a small exhibition
there last month. He is a British subject but
of Spanish parents.
