[BROMHEAD ART GALLERY. THE SOCIETY OF GRAVER-PRINTERS IN. COLOUR.]

The Society of Graver-Printers in Colours are holding their fourteenth annual exhibition at the Bromhead Gallery in Cork Street, and the work, taken as a whole, is well up to the standard one expects from this Society. The majority of the works are woodcuts, and the subjects chosen appear to be well adapted to that class of print. Miss Elyse Lord is an absentee this year, and Mr. Urushibara has only one print to his name ; hut on the other hand a new-comer, Mr. Loxton Knight, shows two promising prints, his Bredcm Hill, with its curious straight sky, being effective. Mr. Giles' (the President) Scarlet Runners is an excellent print, original in composition, decora- tive in design, and well-balanced in colouring. Miss E. A. Hope has produced a well-contrasted work in York, where she lets the majesty of the Minster prevail, without letting it swamp the rest of the design. This print should make a good poster. Other prints which should not be overlooked are C. Thiemann's Primulas, Miss A. L. Rankin's The Hoodie Crows, Miss Nancie White's Tuesday's Child, and Mr. Rigden Read's Stormy, Seas. The moderate 'prices which are being asked for the exhibiti place them within the reach -of the

poorest of us. -
