WHITSTABLE—COVENTRY—DUBLIN
WHITSTABLE. — The illustration
given above, of a drawing by Mr.
R. Purves Flint, shows an admirable
power of selection and suggestion. The
shore of a crowded resort on a fine summer
day is evoked very skilfully in a composi-
tion which, while it is built up with
considerable economy of method, gives
everything needful for the conveying of a
vivid impression. 000a
COVENTRY.—Mrs. E. Garrett Rice's
Old Oak Trees in Stoneleigh Park is
quite a delightful little print. The artist
has a deep-rooted love of trees, and one
feels the fervent sympathy with which she
has treated her subject. Within its narrow
compass she has portrayed with fidelity
and sincerity the grandeur with which
nature, more in England, perhaps, than in
any other country, endows her venerable
oak trees. There they stand, mellow in
hue and striking in contour, silent witnesses
of past centuries, monuments of bygone
happenings from which they, too, bear
many a scar. There is not a false note in
this colour scheme, all is an autumnal

harmony, translated through the medium
of the block, simply but effectively, with-
out a laboured effort. The clouds above,
the restful deer—a modest but pleasing
staffage—beneath the trees, with their
massive trunks, their weather-beaten,
withered branches, their dark and golden
foliage, all play their part in this symphony
en miniature: the sombre glories of an
English fall. G. B.
DUBLIN.—It is now, I think, a couple
of years since I first drew attention
to the want of up-to-date catalogues in
both the Irish National Gallery and the
Dublin Municipal Gallery of Modern Art,
and nothing tangible has been done in
the interval to remedy the deficiency.
It is supposed, however, that Mr. Lucius
O'Callaghan, the new Director of the
National Gallery, is earnestly engaged upon
the task of producing a catalogue worthy of
the great collection under his charge; and
the result of his labours is eagerly looked for
in the near future. The Curator of the
Municipal Gallery, Mr. J. J. Reynolds,
has, in the meantime, won credit by the
