SECOND IMPRESSION The Book of Kells With about Fifty Illustrations in Colours Price 30s. net THE BOOK OF KELLS has been described by Professor Westwood as "the most beautiful book in the world." Those who have seen and studied the consummate beauty of this gem of Celtic manuscript, its rich and subtle colouring, its amazingly intricate and gorgeous designs, its quaint portraiture, and bold, legible text, are not likely to question this description. The last attempt to reproduce in colours pages of this unique and wonderful book was made nearly forty years ago. Since then photography and colour-reproduction have made such rapid advances towards accuracy that, with the permission of the Authorities of Trinity College, Dublin, the Editor of THE STUDIO has issued a volume in which the most beautiful and important pages and many of the wonderful initials of the Book of Kells have been reproduced in colours. For artists, and particularly for designers, the Book of Kells has proved a fruitful source of inspiration; indeed, to all interested in art in any form this masterpiece of illuminated manuscript is a household word. The letterpress by Sir Edward Sullivan, Bart., is of absorbing interest. Offices of THE STUDIO, 44 Leicester Sq., W.C.2

CURTAIN LECTURES No. 1 Part of the Bargain There are some things in the house which you choose mainly for one quality. You buy blankets for warmth and knives chiefly for sharpness. Curtains are different. They enter into both use and ornament. They serve for warmth and seclusion, but, when you are choosing them, nine-tenths of your mind is on their pattern and colour. Until the advent of the Sundour fabrics this quality of fine enticing colour was a deceptive thing. It caused you to buy the curtain and then it ran away from the bargain. It faded and you were left with a curtain which was not the curtain you chose. In a Sundour fabric the colour is part of the bargain and the bargain is kept. No Sundour fabric ever fades. And this is not just prophesied or even promised. In the most binding way it's guaranteed. Sundour UNFADABLE FABRICS SUNDOR FABRICS include Casement Cloths, Cretonnes, Tapstries, Ch.nilles, Reps, Mad-as Muslims, Damasks, and Washable Rugs. They are ALL UNFADABLE. Th.y cost from a shilling or so to several guineas the yard. From Furnishers and Drapers everywhere. MORTON SUNDOR FABRICS LTD.. CARLISLE AD. I
