G. KONODY in the Daily Mail. “There is no English writer better able to give the uninitiated a general idea of evolution in modern art. All interested in art should read Mr. Rutter’s illuminating book.”—Morning Post. “Mr. Rutter convinces where others fail, because it is always as prophet, not as high priest, that he speaks. Evolution in Modern Art is emphatically a book to read and ponder over, and cannot but quicken the understanding.”—Artwork. GEORGE G. HARRAP & CO.

Sketching for Pleasure & Profit A few lines—and you have a permanent souvenir of that happy Holiday incident or expression . . . if you can Sketch! You can learn to sketch, if you wish, and in a way that, from the very beginning, is a source of endless pleasure to the Student. You will be independent of time, weather and circumstance. If the postman can reach you, then you can enjoy the same thorough, conscientious and personal training which has enabled hundreds of men and women to draw, and which has produced many of the leading illustrators of to-day. If you have never drawn before, my Preparatory Course will take you direct to Nature. You will start by making studies of simple objects, progressing by easy stages to a real Drawing ability. My Advanced Course is for those who can draw but who cannot find a ready market for their work. It covers completely the whole field of Illustration and Commercial Art. This Course is a direct path to a Career as an Artist in the Editorial or Advertising world. TWENTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY OFFER To celebrate the Press Art School's coming-of-age, I am making a special offer to those who enrol now. A p.c. will bring full details of this offer, also the School's Prospectus. Address: PERCY V. BRADSHAW, Principal PRESS ART SCHOOL (Dept. S. 150), Tudor Hall, Forest Hill, S.E.23 AD. IX
