18 JULY 1891, Page 11

The Art Union of London send us a portfolio of

four etchings issued with their tickets for 1891. The etchings are after Barker's Clovelfteld, Callcott's Entrance to Pisa from Leghorn, Constable's House at Hampstead, and Crome's Windmill. Mr. C. 0. Murray's etching after Callcott is a dry rendering of a not inspiring original ; in the case of the other three there are some good qualities. Mr. Percy Thomas gets a certain atmosphere in his rendering of the Crowe, something of the effect of light is given in Mr. Barclay's

Barker, and something of the character of the Constable is preserved in Mr. H. R. Robertson's reproduction.
