The National Competition of Schools of Art, 1909
BOOK ILLUSTRATION
BY ETHEL WHITAKER (SCARBOROUGH)
Mr. Alexander Horsnell,
of Chelmsford. The book
illustrations and black-
and-white designs were
better than usual. Mr.
Frederick Carter, of
Regent Street Polytechnic,
carried off for the third
year in succession a gold
medal for designs for book
illustration that showed
a distinct advance upon
those of 1907 and 1908.
Mr. W. F. Northend, of
Sheffield, also takes a gold
medal for a piece of work
that could be accom-
plished probably by very
few students or designers.

which Mr. William G. Donaldson, of Carlisle, Mariner” was produced by Mr. Northend unaided
displayed an ingenious development of the
well-known linen-fold pattern. The designs
for lace, cut linens and embroideries rarely
rose above mediocrity. One of the best
was the design for a collar in cut linen,
by Miss Maud Canning, of Aston Manor.
Other good designs were those for an em-
broidered cut-work tablecloth, by Miss
Minnie Jones, of Dudley, which has been
awarded a silver medal, and for a panel by
Miss N. Porteous, of Leeds.
Miss Evelyn M. B. Paul, of Islington
(Camden), who gained a gold medal last
year for her designs for colour prints, has
again carried off an equally high award.
She showed nothing this time of the
Rossetti-like quality of her dusky, richly
attired maiden of 1908, but Miss Paul’s
work on the whole is of remarkable promise,
and this promise was indicated perhaps
more strongly in the sheets of suggestions
and sketches than in the more finished
studies that represented her in the recent
exhibition. There was nothing else among
the designs for colour-prints to rank with
the efforts of Miss Paul, but mention
should be made of the vigorous landscapes
by Miss Lillian Mills, of Lambeth, the
quaint elegance of the drawing of a bride
and bridegroom, by Miss Vera Dendy, of
the same school, the floral calendar by
Miss Constance Purbrook, of West Ham
and the auto-lithograph in colour of
