SALAMAN SOME PRESS NOTICES. The Times:—The succession of special numbers of THE STUDIO is building up for our use an invaluable reference library of British art, grouped now under technical or again under individual and personal delimitations. Daily Chronicle:—“Gives an admirable survey of the illustrated book from the era of Blake down to the present day.” “A comparison between the work of such artists as Pinwell, Boyd Houghton, Rossetti and their contemporaries and modern pictorial artists is offered in the many reproductions.” Scots Pictorial: “A thing of beauty and constant charm.” WRAPPERS 7/6 CLOTH BINDING 10/6 THE “STUDIO,” LTD., 44 LEICESTER SQ., W.C.2

The Sketch ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL ARTISTS. THE SKETCH offers £100 for a Simple Poster Design --- LAST year THE SKETCH offered the same prize—namely, £100—for a design for the permanent cover of THE SKETCH, an offer which met with an extraordinary response. The Editor now appeals to all artists to submit a poster suitable for exhibition on hoardings or railway bookstalls. The designs submitted should be suitable for reproduction in two colours; as is the design on the regular cover of THE SKETCH (shown above). Remember: the designs can be drawn any size; they need not be of poster size. Also, the designs need not contain any wording; nor need they necessarily have the present cover design incorporated in them—that is, it is not essential that the little lady with the figurines should be represented. It is essential, however, that the poster shall suggest the policy of THE SKETCH—that is, the treatment of artistic, social, and theatrical life. THE SKETCH also makes the following conditions, by which all sending in designs must abide. 1. Any artist may send in any number of designs. 2. All designs must reach “The Sketch,” 15, Essex Street, Strand, London, W.C.2—by not later than the first post on March 10, 1924. 3. Each drawing must have upon it the artist’s name and address. 4. The Editor’s decision must be accepted as final. Subject to these conditions, the Editor will pay £100 for the winning design; this to cover the original and the full copyright, which will then become the property of The Sketch. Designs, except the winning design and any reserved for possible future use (by arrangement with the artists), will be returned in due course, provided postage or carriage is prepaid by the senders; but the Editor will not be responsible for the loss of or damage to any design submitted.
