There are hundreds of Students who possess artistic ability, but who, through lack of practical knowledge, are unable to turn their talents to account. Those who desire sound professional assistance in the development and disposal of their work should consult . . . THE PRESS ART SCHOOL. This School gives a thorough Course of INSTRUCTION BY POST in all Branches of Magazine & Newspaper Illustration. END STAMP FOR ILLUSTRATED PROSPECTUS, TO SECRETARY, 128 DRAKEFELL ROAD, NEW CROSS, LONDON, S.E. LEO.C. AD. IV £30 FOR A POSTER DESIGN IN no field of work does Art meet with such continuous and lucrative commissions as in the POSTER field. £30 to £50 are fairly frequent figures for good colour designs, while some artists command three-figure prices for their work. There is a bigger demand than ever for good poster work; a bigger field than ever for the artist with an individuality. Have you ever considered the enormous possibilities of this branch of legitimate art? We offer you a thorough and practical training at the hands of— CHARLES E. DAWSON, one of the most successful poster artists of the present day, and at a cost of less than £1 a month! The training is individual and personal, and is complete in every detail. The course covers the whole scope of poster work, and our students are so successful that many of them are able to dispose of work after the first two or three lessons. The work appeals to the instincts of art and enterprise, and affords a wider field for originality in design and treatment than any other kind of art. — Our handsome illustrated art brochure — “ART, FAME and FORTUNE,” deals fully with the whole subject, and shows definitely how and where you can turn your knowledge of art to good account.
