THE STUDIO COMPETITIONS.
NEW SERIES OF ORDINARY MONTHLY COMPETITIONS
CLASS A. DECORATIVE ART.
A x. DESIGN FOR A SUN-DIAL.
(Particulars appeared in the June Number.)
A xi. SCHEME FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ART IN ADVERTISING.
The following group of four Competitions is set for the purpose of encouraging and improving art in advertising. The competitions are restricted to advertisements for the press as distinguished from poster advertising, and the drawings must therefore be made suitable for reproduction in black-and-white.
Designs may be pictorial, or decorative, or allegorical, or they may consist of fancy or peculiar lettering. The lettering should be very clear and readable.
The designs must be made suitable for reduction to any of three sizes—namely, 14 ins. by 10 ins., or 7 ins. by 10 ins., or 5 ins. by 7 ins. respectively—that is to say, a full-page, half-page, or quarter-page advertisement in the “Graphic.”
SECTION 1.—Drawings suitable for advertising articles of general consumption, such as Cocoa, Tea, Coffee, Bread, Cakes, Jams, Biscuits, Oats, Meat Extracts, etc.
Prize for the best Full-page Design ( $14 \times 10$ ), Twenty Guineas.
Prize for the best Half-page Design ( $7 \times 10$ ), Ten Guineas.
Prize for the best Quarter-page Design ( $5 \times 7$ ), Five Guineas.
SECTION 2.—Drawings suitable for advertising articles of Toilet or Household use, such as Toilet Soaps, Scouring Soaps, Disinfectants, Embrocations, Perfumes, Hair Dyes, Bath Preparations, etc.
Prize for the best Full-page Design ( $14 \times 10$ ), Twenty Guineas.
Prize for the best Half-page Design ( $7 \times 10$ ), Ten Guineas.
Prize for the best Quarter-page Design ( $5 \times 7$ ), Five Guineas.
SECTION 3.—Drawings suitable for advertising Beverages of all kinds, such as Spirits, Wines, Beers, Lime Juice, Temperance Drinks, Mineral Waters, etc.
Prize for the best Full-page Design ( $14 \times 10$ ), Twenty Guineas.
Prize for the best Half-page Design ( $7 \times 10$ ), Ten Guineas.
Prize for the best Quarter-page Design ( $5 \times 7$ ), Five Guineas.
SECTION 4.—Drawings suitable for advertising Tobaccos, Cigars, Cigarettes, Pipes, Matches, etc.
Prize for the best Full-page Design ( $14 \times 10$ ), Twenty Guineas.
Prize for the best Half-page Design ( $7 \times 10$ ), Ten Guineas.
Prize for the best Quarter-page Design ( $5 \times 7$ ), Five Guineas.
N.B.—Drawings need not be made exactly $14 \times 10$ , $7 \times 10$ , and $5 \times 7$ , but they must be capable of being reduced to these dimensions.
Each competitor may send in drawings for any or all the different sections, and for any or all the different sizes, provided that a separate design is submitted in each case. One Studio Coupon will suffice for all the drawings sent in for the various sections of Comp. A xi.
The competitor’s pseudonym, and the section and size for which the design is intended, should be distinctly written upon the back of each drawing sent in; for instance, “Comp. A x’, Section 2, Full-page”; or “Comp. A xi, Section 4, Quarter-page.”
The designs to which prizes are awarded will become the property of the donors of the prizes, for whom the Editor reserves the right of purchasing any of the unsuccessful designs at a price to be arranged hereafter.
Drawings, packed flat, and with the number and section or sections of the competition distinctly written outside the parcel, to be received at the London office of THE STUDIO by October 1st.
A xii. DESIGN FOR A FRONT-DOOR KNOCKER.
Designs, which must be made in pen-and-ink or in monochrome wash, to be made suitable for carrying out in wrought iron.

LINE AND FORM. By WALTER CRANE. With 157 Illustrations.
This volume is uniform with the author's "Bases of Design," and contains a large number of drawings by Mr. Crane, as well as numerous other illustrations.
"If I may be pardoned the comparative method of criticism—which, by the way, is never satisfying—I would say that this little book will give a more thorough knowledge of drawing and design to the intelligent young person than all the writings of Ruskin put together."

THE BASES OF DESIGN. By WALTER CRANE. With 200 Illustrations.
"This collection of lectures delivered by Mr. Crane to the Manchester School of Art will interest all who care for beauty of form or decoration, and will be of practical value to the art student or the apprentice in handicraft. It is a book that was wanted, for it occupies a place between the hard and fast catalogues of design, such as Owen Jones's 'Grammar of Ornament,' and such works as Ruskin's."
Daily Chronicle.
"This important work is destined to take its place among the few essential volumes for reference and study that a designer requires."

L'ART DE STANHOPE A. FORBES, A.R.A. PAR NORMAN GARSTIN.
Les parents de M. Stanhope Forbes dirigeaient l'exploitation d'une voie ferrée; leur existence journalière était remplie par des combinaisons difficiles et des manœuvres exigeant une prévoyance extrême, une attention sans défaillance et l'obéissance absolue d'une armée de travailleurs. Sur leur domaine, ils commandaient aux hommes, maniaient des forces et de l'argent, et bien des petits princes leur auraient envié cette puissance. Ce n'est presque pas une métaphore de dire que M. Forbes a été nourri de vapeur et d'électricité, et que « le fer est entré dans son âme » d'une façon que ne prévoyait pas l'écrivain sacré.
Ce n'est pas là simple rhétorique; nous sommes tous soumis à l'action des circonstances, encore que la multitude et la complexité de ces circonstances ne permettent guère de dire quel facteur dominant a formé notre caractère. Or M. Forbes — c'est là que je veux en venir — est issu d'une famille essentiellement imbue de la vie du xixe siècle, de son mouvement, de son inlassable activité.
Le tempérament de cet artiste est un singulier composé d'enthousiasme et de scepticisme, d'opinions solides et de généreux respect pour les idées d'autrui, le tout fondu en un mélange heureux et sain, par un infaillible sentiment de l'esprit. C'est là un élixir de bon sens, dont une goutte, tombant dans quelque idée arrêtée ou dans quelque opinion exagérée, dissout toute sottise et tout parti pris, et purifie l'air de toute atmosphère étouffante et de toute obscurité nuageuse. Nul autant que M. Stanhope Forbes n'a contribué à maintenir la cohésion dans la petite cité de Newlyn. Son élégant logis est le centre de l'urbanité; c'est une maisonnette au milieu d'une propriété située sur une hauteur. Il mène là l'existence la plus idyllique que puissent mener des hommes à une époque si éloignée de l'Age d'or.
M. Forbes possède au plus haut point le don d'apprécier la beauté des choses: les fleurs arrondies d'une rose trémie le pénètrent d'admiration; mais il éprouve le même sentiment devant la force irrésistible d'un cuirassé qui file, en fendant l'écume moutonneuse, sur les eaux bleues de la baie du Mont, au pied de sa maison. Il goûte de même un bon roman, un concert, ou une route unie se déployant sous les pneumatiques de son Dunlop. Tout cela nous aide à comprendre l'homme, car l'artiste n'est, après tout, qu'un marchand d'émotions agréables, reflétant à l'aide de procédés divers les impressions que font naître en lui les infinis aspects de la nature. Dans le caractère complexe de l'homme, chaque facette saisit quelque rayon lumineux et le réfléchit, pourvu que l'âme soit celle d'un artiste, non seulement pleine de la clarté qui l'illumine, mais capable d'exprimer aussi les impressions reçues par son clair miroir.
Comme je l'ai dit plus haut, M. Forbes est essentiellement un homme du xixe siècle: pénétré de la réalité de la vie actuelle, il n'a pas de visions et ne fait pas de rêves; en revanche, il voit avec une clarté et une simplicité extraordinaires, et rend avec une égale clarté ce qu'il voit.
On pourrait prétendre, comme on le fait parfois, qu'il manque de sentiment. Cette idée est due, je crois, à la confusion que l'esprit anglo-saxon établit
