The Goldsmiths College School of Art
who has recently been
elected an Associate of
the Royal Society of
Painter - Etchers, while
Miss M. Brough, in Fes-
tival, reveals a fanciful
sense of rhythmic grace.
Mr. W. A. Narbeth, as
may be seen, for example,
in his Samson pulling
down the Pillars of the
House (p. 119), is a young
etcher of imagination,
vigorous designing power,
and real expressive im-
pulse.
In the lithography class
Mr. Sullivan encourages
his pupils to work as
much as possible upon
>*H the stone, which they
IliilWK are tau§ht t0 prepare
for themselves; while,
in learning the tradi-
tional practice of the
medium, they are ini-
tiated into a valuable
novelty in technique of
their master's invention.
This is a method of
making an autographic
Miss Doris Davis gives evidence in ber Red Cross white chalk drawing upon the stone. Before
Garden Party, and still more, perhaps, in a this, of course, white chalk effects had been
charming little plate, Half Term Holiday—a imitated laboriously, but Mr. Sullivan's pro-
group of children on high ground watching an cess, while absolutely autographic, is very
aeroplane over distant London—of a gift for simple. A drawing is made on the stone
the essential expression of a scene, with good with ordinary blackboard chalk. Then a sheet

particularly in two plates, Early Doors, repro- failing either, stout smooth paper, is rolled up

considered design, and with keen observation, is laid, with the prepared surface downwards,
she can depict vivaciously the typical aspects of upon the stone, which is then run through the
incident and character in the crowded hours of press. The stone is afterwards gummed, etched,
East End life. Miss Winifred Daniels's vividly and printed in the usual manner. The chalk,
expressive Saturday Night shows that she too wherever it is, intercepts the re-transfer ink,

bell, whether her subject be a sale room, a clever wintry landscape done at the school with
gambling hall, or a crowd rushing for shelter on this process by Mrs. Alfred Sutro, but this
