at Walker's Galleries, had charm of style
and a delicate precision of handling that
made them especially welcome—not many
artists, in these days of slovenly technical
procedure, strive so sincerely after correct-
ness of craftsmanship or try so honestly to
maintain a healthy tradition. Mr. Joseph
Farquharson's pictures and sketches, in
the galleries of the Fine Art Society,
represented well an artist who has for
many years enjoyed a large measure of
popularity. The pictures he showed were
mostly of a familiar type, but his sketches
had the charm of novelty and illustrated
attractively a different side of his art. 0
The Loan Exhibition of Naval Prints
from the Macpherson Collection, at the
Gieves and Arlington Galleries, contained
nearly 250 prints, a very small part of the
collection itself but sufficient to give an
idea of its comprehensiveness and remark-
able variety. To the historian and the
archaeologist the exhibition made a most
effective appeal, but there was much to
attract the art lover as well, as many en-
gravings of fine quality were included in it.
As an example of the pictorial material
which can be found in London the picture
of Rotten Row, by Miss Jenny Montigny,
which is reproduced here in colour, de-
serves to be noted. It has pleasant
qualities of light and shade and colour and
an attractive freshness of treatment. An-
other type of artistic conviction is repre-
sented in the vigorous and largely expressed
water colour, The Bridge, by Mr. E. W.
Haslehust, whose work is always admirably
consistent in effort; and yet another in the
wonderful drawing, Marauders — shown
at the Greatorex Gallery—by Mr. George
Marples, the Principal of the Liverpool
School of Art. It is in its suggestion of
movement and its beauty of draughtsman-
ship comparable with the work of the
greater Japanese masters. 000
The etching illustrated—The Landlady
—is a characteristic example of the work
of Mr. Iain Macnab, who is one of the
Principals of Heatherley’s School: the
bookbindings, for the Queen’s Dolls’
House, do full credit to Messrs. Sangorski
and Sutcliffe who have long enjoyed the
reputation of being almost without rivals
as exponents of this branch of applied art;
and the embroidered panel by Miss E. R.
LONDON
Rayner has interest as a piece of judicious
decorative design, ingeniously conven-
tionalised and treated with correct under-
standing of its space-filling purpose. 0
The Executive Committee of the
R.I.B.A. International Congress on Archi-
tectural Education have great pleasure in
announcing that H.R.H. the Prince of
Wales has graciously consented to become
patron of the Congress, which is to be held
in London from July 28th to August 1st
next. 000000
Those who appreciate the work of the
late Claude Shepperson, A.R.A., may be
interested to learn that it is proposed to
erect, in Brompton Cemetery, a memorial
which has been designed by Miss Gertrude
Knoblock and Mr. H. Cornford, under the
supervision of Mr. Maxwell Ayrton,
F.R.I.B.A., who propose to forego their
remuneration. The design is a graceful
little figure, expressing the spirit of Mr.
Shepperson's art, poised upon a plain
pedestal of stone. The amount required
is £200. Mr. Maxwell Ayrton has kindly
consented to receive contributions, which
should be addressed to him at 3 Verulam
Buildings, Grays Inn, W.C. 2, and the
envelopes of which should be marked
“ Shepperson Memorial.” 000
