masters, and wrote various essays on their work as
well as on other art subjects.

The Fine Art Society have been exhibiting
the pictures of Big Game in Africa with which
Mr. W. Kuhnert drew attention to himself when
he first exhibited in London. The recent exhibi-
tion does not fall behind the preceding one in its
revelation of a great knowledge of wild animals in
their natural state and in the celerity of the artist’s
style.

We referred last month to the exhibition of Mr.
Max Beerbohm’s cartoons at the Leicester Gal-
leries. The drawing we now reproduce will interest
many of our readers, who will have no difficulty in
recognising most of the personages forming this
galaxy of literary talent. Their names as given in
the catalogue are Mr. Barrie, Mr. Binyon, Mr.
Austin Dobson, Mr. Galsworthy, Mr. Gosse, Lord

Haldane, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Frederic Harrison,
Mr. Anthony Hope Hawkins, Mr. Hewlett, Mr.
Henry James, Mr. Kipling, Mr. Sturge Moore,
Lord Morley, Mr. Newbolt, Sir Arthur Pinero, Sir
Walter Raleigh, Mr. Shaw, and Mr. Yeats.

We give opposite a reproduction in colours of a
charming little drawing by Mr. G. Herbert Vickery.
Mr. Vickery is a son of Mr. G. Vickery, a well-
known London architect, and for a short time he
studied architecture with a view to adopting his
father’s profession, but finding his temperament
tending towards the romantic and fanciful, rather
than to the more practical and constructional in
architecture, he ultimately abandoned this pro-
fession and devoted himself wholly to pictorial
art. He studied for a time at the Slade, and
afterwards for several years in Antwerp. He has
exhibited in the Belgian Salons, and he is also an
exhibitor at the Royal Academy.
