oaken casket presented to
intelligent transcript of nature, his treat-
ment of foliage being particularly able, a
Mr. Alfred J. Oakley's group admirably
expresses the motive which the sculptor
has set out to interpret. Its modelling,
too, is excellent, and the whole constitutes
a performance of considerable merit. a
An exhibition which held out strong
appeal to the bibliophile was that held at
the well-known bookshop of Messrs. J.
and E. Bumpus in Oxford Street last
month. A number of fine editions by the
publisher of the Avalun-Drucke, of
Hellerau, near Dresden, were shown, and
provided evidence of real progress in
German book-production. 000
The New Autumn Group, a society of
twenty-one members hailing from St.
John's Wood, is holding its first exhibition
the"prince of wales, designed at the Gieves Gallery, from the 16th to
and made by joseph armitage the 2,7 th. November. With varied ten-
dencies from the academic school to the
which an example is given on page 308) modern they are showing every kind of
is marked by virility and breadth of treat- pictorial and plastic art from book-illus-
ment. Since last her work was reproduced trations to posters, from miniatures to
in The Studio, this artist has made much easei pictures, from woodcuts to sculp-
progress, especially in her mastery of ture in wood and stone, from theatrical
water-colour. Her pictures have a rush, costumes to church windows. 0 0
a fire, a vehement joyousness of colour
which makes them highly decorative.
French critics have suggested that Miss
Nisbet would make an admirable illustra-
tion of Hans Andersen. 000
The casket illustrated above was made
to the order of Mr. W. Curtis Green by
Mr. Joseph Armitage, from oak out of
Winchester Cathedral, and was presented
to the Prince of Wales as the receptacle of
the Freedom of the City of Winchester.
It bears the arms of the Prince of Wales
and of Winchester, and the changes of
the latter have been made the motive of
the design. The interior was lined with
cedar, so that the casket could be used as a
cigar box. 00000
Mrs. Dora Knight's bookbindings are
not unknown to our readers, and we here
give another example of her restrained and
tasteful craftsmanship. A suitable decora-
tive motive is embodied in the design,
but it is not obtruded, and the plain sur-
face of the leather is allowed to play an
important part. 00/00
