"PROFILE OF MARY FOOTE." BY MARGARET
FOOTE HAWLEY
{Pennsylvania Academy Miniature Exhibition,
1919)
PHILADELPHIA. — Three exhibitions
were current at the same time in the
Galleries of the Pennsylvania Academy
of Fine Arts at the close of last year—
the Sixteenth Annual Water-Colour Show, the
Seventeenth Exhibition of Miniatures, and the
collection comprising the work done at Chester
Springs, the summer school of the Academy.
This year being the centenary of the introduc-
tion of lithography in Philadelphia, artists using
the medium were requested to submit examples.
The entire collection of lithographs depicting
Britannia in arms, by Brangwin, Clausen, Muir-
head Bone, Shannon, Kennington, Pears, Rothen-
stein, and others forming the group in the
British Government Exhibition, was on view,
and a new series of war-work lithographs
authorized by the Government of the United
States, and executed by Mr. Joseph Pennell,
was a feature of the show. The heroism and
sufferings of the French poilu gave poignant
interest to a group by M. Lucien Jonas. Pictu-
resque bits of scenery and buildings of New
York, portraits, and figures were subjects of
Mr. Childe Hassam's contribution.
Finer examples of the etcher's art than Mr.
Frank Brangwyn's prints of Venice, The Monu-
144
merit, and Toledo have rarely been observed,
and Mr. Ernest Roth uses the needle and acid
with true artistic feeling for line in his little
pictures of Madison Square and Columbia
Library. Lithographs and drawings in various
mediums, by Steinlen, Forain, Lautrec, Mani-
gault, Wm. S. Glackens, John Marin, Robt.
Henri, J. S. Sargent, and Mahonri Young,
formed part of a group lent by Mr. Albert
Eugene Gallatin. There were capital charcoal
portraits of Joseph Pennell and John McLure
Hamilton by Mr. F. Walter Taylor, a series of
portraits of local musicians in the same medium
by Mr. Leopold Seyffert, and a group of drawings
by Mr. Thornton Oakley of the shipbuilding
work at the Hog Island yard. Sanguine was
used by Miss Violet Oakley as a medium for
a group of four portraits, and grey chalk in
another of a Polish Princess by Mrs. Lilian
Westcott Hale. Line and water-colour was
the combination in Mr. C. C. A. Erickson's
portrait of /. L. Brandon, Esq., black chalk and
