Colour prints are said to be " The Poor Man's Art." If so, the poor man needs no pity. There is a great variety here... All are moderately priced, and each bears the stamp of individual work, since designing, engraving, and printing . must all be done by the artist alone. What could be more decorative on one's walls than Miss Elyse Lord's " Windy Sleeves," Mr. " 'Spring," or Miss Ranknes " Oyster Catchers," with its receding lines of colour ?

Wood engraving is not taught in this country at any of the schools . of art, so the beginner faces difficulties which the student of other branches has not to contend with. With a view to.helping beginners, and spreading the cult generally, the Society of Graver-Printers is forming the Colour Print Club,, with the Earl of Ypres as President. The subscription will be small, and members. will not only have the advantages 'of lectures and demOnstrations, but will receive each yea what is adjudged the best print of that year.
