of the sky, is a print of
charm.

Mr. Allen W. Seaby,
who directs the art
classes at the University
College, Reading, is one
of the most enthusiastic
advocates of the wood-
engraved colour-print,
and the four prints given
here are typical of his
artistic expression
through that medium.
They will show, I think,
that he is equally happy
in design and colour
While frankly decorative,
they are instinct with
artistic vitality. The
Bridge is a very beautiful
print. The blue and
green tones are richly
harmonious, while the
tender pink of the sunset
sky, seen under the
bridge, is a charming

"lapwings" by allen w. seaby note. This is as ad-

mirably characteristic

least successful of her efforts. In its suggestive of Mr. Seaby's landscape-vision as The Peacock,
atmospheric treatment it is full of vitality ; there is Lapwings, and Swans are of his decorative and
wind in the air, there is

movement in the sky. .____________________....._____________________.....________.....______________ ._______.....____;_.
