MR. HYDE'S WATER-COLOURS OF LONDON AT THE BAILLIE GALLERY.
Mn. HYDE is a most accomplished black-and-white artist, and those who have admired the beauty of his work and the poetry of his imagination will look with interest at his new departure in the region of colour. They will find delightful qualities in the St. Paul's by Moonrise (No. 10), with its fine deep blues and broad handling. Somewhat akin in feeling is the Entrance to the House of Commons (No. 7). Mr. Hyde has made a very distinguished use of black in the figures in the little picture of Knightsbridge (No. I9), which has some beautiful colour in the sky and houses. It is to be hoped that this artist will some day give us in colour romantic effects of pure landscape such as he produced in black-and-
white when illustrating Meredith's poems. H. S.
