Pen Drawing
and studied rendering of the White Lion Inn, at
Otindle, is not less interesting as an example of
quite a different manner of handling. This last

refinements for the sake of attaining an excessive
actuality. It shows a firm sense of construction
and is pleasantly restrained.
A robuster style is seen in the sketch by “ Thanet,”
