The Arts and Crafts Exhibition
casket in gold, silver and enamels by harold stabler
(Presented by the Fishmongers' Company to Field-Marshal Viscount French)
the whole width of the wall; and in the Lecture stances, for the time that elapsed between the
Room are pictures on a similar scale symbolising closing of the summer exhibition at the Royal
the Arts and Crafts by Mr. Charles Sims, R.A., Academy and the opening of the Arts and Crafts
and Mr. Maurice Greiffenhagen, A.R.A. Smaller, Exhibition in the same galleries was insufficient to
but still large, paintings hang in alcoves at either
end of the Lecture Room : one by Mr. R. Anning
Bell, A.R.A., and the other—a prehistoric pastoral
entitled The Ancient Arts—by Mr. George
Clausen, R.A. Pottery, glass and furniture are
shown in the Lecture Room, where one of the
most striking objects is the altar in blue and gold
by Miss Jessie Bayes, which is here illustrated,
and to which further reference will be made in
another article on the exhibition.
The Second Gallery, also remodelled and deco-
rated with wall paintings, is chiefly a room of
textiles, in which two looms have been placed;
and the old water-colour room and the black-and-
white room have been divided into four or five
small galleries in which silversmith's work (in-
cluding Mr. Harold Stabler's casket presented to
Lord French by the Fishmongers' Company),
jewellery, pottery, and toys are displayed. The
central hall has been transformed into a group
of chapels, and in the vestibule is a plan for a
proposed reconstruction of Trafalgar Square.
Unfortunately, it is impossible in this notice to
consider Mr. Wilson's general design or to attempt
to review the new work at the Arts and Crafts
Exhibition, because on the Press Day the decora-
tions were very far from complete, many of the
exhibits were still unarranged, and many not yet
unpacked, and no catalogues were available. This
was regrettable but not surprising in the circum- cloisonne enamel plaquette by harold stabler
