THE STUDIO JUST PUBLISHED THE DRAWING & CONSTRUCTION OF ANIMALS By W. EVANS LINTON, R.W.A. Profusely illustrated. Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net Extract from Author’s Preface The fact that, although there are numerous works dealing with almost every aspect of draughtsmanship, there exists no illustrated treatise on drawing animals has recently been pointed out to me by my friends, and they have further been flattering enough to suggest that I possess the requisite knowledge to supply this deficiency. I have accordingly in this work endeavoured to place in the hands of the practical student a work in some degree comparable with the text books at the service of the student of the human figure. While this book is specially designed for the use of the student, the author ventures to hope that it may prove serviceable to the painter and illustrator, the diagramatic illustrations affording a convenient means by which they may refresh their memories, or help to conjure up a mental picture of the part which they experience difficulty in delineating.

JOURDAIN Illustrated by 250 examples arranged on 115 full page plates reproduced to a good scale from specially taken photographs, and including numerous measured drawings, sketches, and facsimiles of rare original designs. This volume contains the largest and most systematically arranged collection of English Plastic Decoration ever brought together. The examples are classified under Early and Late Renaissance, the latter being sub-divided into the Late Stuart or Wren Period; the Palladian School, with its variant of Rococo; and finally the Classic Revival of the brothers Adam. --- A Vivid and Graphic Record of Man’s Artistic Achievements throughout the Ages Large 8vo.

BLUM, Docteur-és-Lettres, University of Paris. Edited and enlarged by R. R. TATLOCK, Editor of the “Burlington Magazine.” Containing 280 pages of text, with 334 illustrations in half-tone and line, including many full-page plates. Dr. Blum’s work, which has already enjoyed an enormous success in France holds a unique place among histories of art. It fills a gap between the works which give a mere outline of the subject, and the more bulky and expensive manuals running into several volumes. With an admirable impartiality and proportion Dr. Blum traces the development of the fine Arts in Europe and the Near East down to modern times. The illustrations are remarkable for their clearness and variety, and form in themselves an epitome of artistic accomplishment.
