within the limits of the mannerism which
he affects, had a measure of power ; and
Mrs. Anning Bell a group of accom-
plished portrait drawings in pastel and
charcoal at the gallery of Messrs. Brom-
head, Cutts & Co.; and at the Beaux Arts
Gallery there was a collection of pictures
and drawings, all priced at the same
amount, which included memorable per-
formances by Sir W. Orpen, Mr. Harold
Speed, Mr. Anning Bell, Mr. Terrick
Williams, Mr. Ethelbert White, Mr. Gerald
Moira and Mr. Russell Flint. a 0
The Royal Society of Painter-Etchers
had more good work than usual in its
annual show, and the gathering as a whole
was decidedly above the average. There
was only one contribution by Sir Frank
Short, a vigorous landscape, Hobbs Hawth,
but many of the other members were amply
represented by things of high merit.
Perhaps the most notable were The Orchid
Trail, by Miss Anna Airy; Richborough,
by Mr. H. Rushbury; Hop Exchange,
after the Fire, by Mr. Stanley Anderson;

the Study for Decoration, by Mr. G. L.
Brockhurst; the aquatint, The Bridge,
Staithes, by Mr. Westley Manning; the
delicate Thames at Westminster, by Mr.
Percy Robertson; Derby Day—4 a.m., by
Mr. J. G. Platt; Distant Harrow, by Mr.
J. R. K. Duff; Sunset in Scotland, an
effective note, by Mr. Martin Hardie ; and
Sunny Morning, St. Ives, by Mr. Alfred
Hartley. There was, however, much besides
that did the Society credit. 000
Attention must be directed to the
reproduction given here of Coaling,
by Mr. Davis Richter; it is a valuable
illustration of the adaptability of appar-
ently unpromising subjects to decorative
purposes. Mr. Clarke Hutton’s pencil
drawing shows what excellent results can
be attained with a medium that is less
popular with artists than it ought to be ;
and Mr. Francis Unwin’s Hertford House,
War Time, exhibited at the St. George’s
Gallery, represents well a man whose
versatility and soundness of accomplish-
ment have gained for him wide recog-
nition. Mr. Aubrey Hammond's designs
