worth, for the church of St. Hugh in this town ol
"garden-city " fame and are very engaging examples
of illuminated lettering. The cards were written
with a slanted quill pen on Roman vellum in
seventh-century capitals, with Chinese black ink
and vermilion. All the gold lettering, such as the
small capitals to " Deus, Pater" &c, and part of
the "Credo" beginning "et homo," &C, were
written with a similar pen. The large capitals were
written with a pen cut broader at the tip. The
whole of the decorative outlines were executed
with a fine-cut quill pen in black, lapis lazuli, white
and vermilion inks, and filled in with a fine brush
with oxide of chromium, vermilion, lapis lazuli or
white. The fifteen mysteries of the Rosary are
symbolised in the fifteen large capitals of the centre
triptych. The large capitals in the side cards have
Lenten lily diaper patterns emblematic of the time
of the year the work was completed, namely
Easter 1914. The borders of the triptych are
3°4
composed of the vine, wheat, white rose and
shamrock. The thorny rose-stems are used freely
and suggest the human path, interpenetrated by the
radiance of the Cross. The metalwork was executed
by Mr. R. C. Price and consists of dark bronze
metal frames with supporting angels in oxidised
silver at both of the lower corners, but these have
been omitted from the illustrations so as to permit
of the cards themselves being shown on a larger
scale. The originals are of course considerably
larger than our reproductions. The whole of the
work is mounted on mahogany panels which slide
into the metal frames and is all under glass.
The two very charming statuettes by Mons. E. O.
de Rosales which we reproduce on this page were
recently on view in an exhibition of the artist's work
