be not only a designer with a sensitive
perception of decorative subtleties but
must be able, as well, to express very
delicate variations of form with refine-
ment and restraint. That Mr. Carline is
well equipped for this type of work is
proved by the quality of his productions ;
they are designed with an excellent sense
of proportion and with a right feeling for
balance and spacing and they are modelled
with admirable precision and with intimate
understanding of the relation of planes
and surfaces. 0000 j
Among the many excellent posters which
are to be seen at the present time Mr.
Frank Newbould's Kingston by Tram
deserves a special place on account of its
vigour and originality. It is remarkably
well drawn and it is very arresting in its
frankness of statement; the local bit
which the artist has chosen for his subject
is treated, too, with complete recognition
of the opportunity it afforded for an effec-
tive and unconventional composition. The
other poster, by Rilette, for the Oetzmann
furnishing firm is also an attractive produc-
tion with a little touch of humour that
cannot fail to make it popular. It is in
its character a pleasant departure from the
beaten track. 0 0 0 j
Romney's picture.. The Etonians, illus-
trated here, is a fairly good example
of his work and represents him at a period
when he was justifying his popularity
by the production of paintings which, if
they were not very masterly, were certainly
seductive and marked by charm of style.
This picture was bought at Christie's last
July by Messrs. Phillips and MacConnal
for Sir John Leigh and the price paid for
it was 8,500 guineas. 0 0 j
