their section, but not so successful as some of
the work by the same students contributed in past
years to the National Competition.
In wood-carving the one piece of
importance was a small casket in walnut
intended for a presentation key, and
designed and carved by Alice Lilian
Hitchcock, of the Kensington School
of Art Wood-carving Classes.
Another unimportant section this
year was that of bookbinding, which
was censured in the report by the
judges, Mr. Robert Anning Bell, R. W.S.,
Mr. Douglas Cockerell, and Mr. T. Erat
Harrison. Of the book-covers exhibited
two of the most attractive were by
Francis D. Elsom (Camberwell), and
by Maud B. S. Bird (Birmingham,
Margaret Street).
In lace there were signs of a revival
in design, and good work was shown
by Nottingham (to which school six
silver medals were awarded in this de-
partment), Dublin, Cork, and Dover.
The highest award was gained by a
London student, Florence A. Davy, of
Hammersmith L.C.C. School of Arts
and Crafts, for an excellent design for
an infant’s shoe in needlepoint.
