Ready Immediately THE ART OF LANDSCAPE PAINTING By LEONARD RICHMOND, R.O.I., R.B.A. Joint Author of "The Technique of Water Colour Painting" and "The Art of Painting in Pastel." THE author of this book is so well known as an artist, and as an art teacher, that an announcement of a new work by him is bound to be of interest to all concerned with Art. Recently in collaboration with Mr. J. Littlejohns, R.B.A., Mr. Richmond produced The Technique of Water Colour Painting, which has enjoyed a magnificent success. In this book Mr. Richmond deals with landscape painting in its fundamentals, and discusses the three media of WATER COLOUR, OILS, and PASTEL, in connection with landscape. The explanations are freely illustrated throughout. ¶ The Author's work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Paris Salon, International Society, Pastel Society, &c. The beautiful colour plates with which the book is freely illustrated will appeal very strongly to all lovers of landscape art.

EVERY DESIGNER AND CRAFTSMAN SHOULD POSSESS THESE TWO REMARKABLE BOOKS WHICH ILLUSTRATE EXHAUSTIVELY THE WHOLE RANGE OF HISTORIC ORNAMENT, AND OF DECORA-TIVE FEATURES AND OBJECTS OF ALL PERIODS. A HANDBOOK of ORNAMENT With 3000 illustrations of the Elements and the Application of Decoration to Objects, systematically arranged according to subject and material. With Introductory and Descriptive Text to each subject. By Professor F. SALES MEYER. Third Edition, revised by HUGH STANNUS, F.R.I.B.A. Large 8vo, cloth. 16s. net, by post 16/9. The Studio in reviewing this work said: "It is a Library, a Museum, an Encyclopædia, and an Art School in one. To rival it as a book of reference one must fill a book-case. . . . So good a book needs no praise. . . . Should a designer by force of circumstances be compelled to limit his library to a single book, one is strongly tempted to advise him to choose this, which is practically an epitome of a hundred works on design, and so orderly in its classification and lucid in its text that it has preserved the really serviceable matter of the lot." The Architect in its review said: "The author's acquaintance with ornament amazes, and his three thousand subjects are gleaned from the finest which the world affords. As a treasury of ornament we have nothing which will not appear poverty-stricken compared with Meyer's book." New Illustrated Catalogue (96 pages) of Art Books sent post free on application. B. T. BATSFORD LTD., Publishers, 94 HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON THE STYLES of ORNAMENT From Prehistoric Times to the XIXth Century. A Series of 3500 Examples arranged in Historical Order on 400 full-page Plates. With Historical and Descriptive Text to each subject. By ALEXANDER SPELTZ, Architect. Revised & Edited by R. PHENÉ SPIERS, F.S.A., F.R.I.B.A. Large 8vo, cloth gilt. 20s. net, by post 20/9. Walter Crane, in a lengthy review in the Manchester Guardian, wrote: ". . . By providing in a single volume of some 600 pages and 400 illustrations a really intelligible account of the styles of ornament prevailing in the world from prehistoric times to the middle of the nineteenth century, the author has accomplished a remarkable feat. . . . The illustrations are for the most part well chosen and characteristic." The 400 Plates on which the several styles of Ornament are illustrated contain a larger and much more varied series than in any work hitherto published. Indeed, the volume forms a veritable Encyclopaedia of the Evolution, Development, and Application of Ornament in Architecture and the Decorative Arts throughout the Ages, and it is of great value to the Craftsman, Designer and Student.
