more about them on this occasion. Several of
the artists who participated in this undertaking
are members of the Senefelder Club, and their
work figured in the club's exhibition at the
Leicester Galleries. Though reinforced by some
engaging examples of Mr. Charles Shannon's
sensitive use of the medium, and striking work
by Mr. Muirhead Bone, Miss Ethel Gabain, Mr.
John Copley, Mr. Ernest Jackson, Miss Elsie
Henderson, Mr. G. W. Bellows, and one or two
others, this display seemed as a whole scarcely to
reach the high standard of previous shows. Any
shortcoming in this section was, however, amply
compensated by the prints representing the
leaders of the French School of artistic lithog-
raphy—Fantin-Latour, Edgar Degas, Eugene
Carriere, Forain, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec,
Jean Weber, Hermann-Paul, Poulbot.
The Society of Women Artists, whose exhibi-
tions are usually held in the Suffolk Street
galleries, had to find other quarters for their
sixty-fourth exhibition, these galleries having
been commandeered by the Government and,
fortunately, accommodation was available at
60
the Royal Institute in Piccadilly. The exhibi-
tion just closed undoubtedly showed to better
advantage in these well-lighted galleries, and to
that fact is due in some degree the more favour-
able impression it created as compared with those
held at the Suffolk Street galleries in recent
years. Some excellent painting by Miss Alice
Fanner, Miss Madeline Wells, Miss E. J. Whyley,
Miss Dorothea Sharp, Miss A. E. Browning, and
Mrs. Hall-Neale, among others. Water-colours
by the late Mrs. Horsfall Ertz, Mrs. Burleigh,
Miss M. Kees, Mrs. Hall Thorpe, and Mrs.
Quennell, pencil portraits by the Duchess of
Rutland, cameo-like reliefs by Mme. de Lannoy
Hill, enamels by Mrs. Ernestine Mills, and
stained-wood boxes by Miss J. A. Labrousse
were among the items of interest. The Society's
exhibitions usually comprise a small section of
craft-work, and we should like to see this
department extended even if it involved a
curtailment of the pictorial portion.
