BARBIZON HOUSE : an Illustrated Record for 1922. (8 Hen-

rietta Street, Cavendish Square.)

The illustrated record of pictures, drawings and bronzes that have passed through Barbizon House, the gallery of the well-known art dealer, Mr. D. Croal Thomson, has been issued since 1919, and the present volume shows no fall in artistic quality. We may, perhaps, regret the enormous gap between the heights and the depths, but the heights remain. Three exquisite Daumiers, Corot's L'Ouragan and a Manet still life are, in our opinion, the peaks in this excellently produced publication.
