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

THE STUDIO WHILE heavy overcoats dispense warmth at sacrifice of comfort, alternatively there are lighter coats which attain comfort but neglect warmth. Aboard or afoot, the “Eiderscutum” Coat of pure new wool is the happy “go-between,” conserving warmth with comfort and denying ingress to biting blasts. The warmth, lightness and good appearance of the “Eiderscutum” Coat enthused a customer to write: “I am exceedingly pleased with ‘Argyle’ Coat which fits me perfectly, and which absolutely answers your advertisement.” “Eiderscutum” D.B. Rufford, as illustrated, £10 10s. od. Single-breasted £9 9s. od. Ladies’ coats same prices.
