MUNICH.—From time to time there have
appeared in the pages of The Studio
illustrations of toys designed by one or
other Austrian artist designer, and they
have evoked widespread interest. Our readers
will, we feel sure, find no less attractive the rows
of quaint little dolls by Marion Kaulitz which we
now reproduce, for they are so true to life and
there is something very human about them, espe-
cially as compared with the gaudily-dressedpoup'ees
with which our toy shops are stocked. Fraulein
Kaulitz, who is English on the maternal side, has
made it her aim in producing these dolls to make
them representative of child nature, and recognis-
ing children’s love for colour she dresses them in
garments of bright hues. Their heads, it should
be remarked, have been modelled by the well-
known Munich sculptor, Paul Vogelsanger, the
faces being coloured by Frl. Kaulitz, but the colour
is fast so that the dolls’ faces can be washed. The
dolls, which are practically unbreakable, have been
exhibited here as well as Briinn and Elberfeld,
a special diploma being awarded to Frl. Kaulitz
at the latter place. The attention which talented
artists have been giving of late years to the play-
things of our little ones and to many other things
touching child life is a gratifying sign of the times,
and the movement in this direction, steadily gain-
ing force from year to year, is of the greatest signi-
ficance.
VIENNA.—Prof. William Unger resigned
his chair at the Imperial Academy last
year on attaining his seventieth birth-
day. He migrated to Vienna from Ger-
many as long ago as 1872, and all his best work
has been done here. He had, however, already
shown his capability as an etcher, but at that time
conditions were not favourable for original etching,
and for years reproductive etching alone claimed
his attention. Still, even as a copyist, he can lay
