NEW WALL PAPERS and Schemes of Decoration NOW ON VIEW At the West End Showrooms JEFFREY GALLERY, 53, Berners Street, W.1 Factory, Offices & Showroom— 64, ESSEX ROAD, ISLINGTON, N.1 Highest Awards, including Nine Gold Medals Sketch ME All the sketches in this magazine which have amused and interested you, were drawn by Artists who, some time or other, had to make their start, with little more than the keen desire to draw. Sketching is not difficult—if your training is on the right lines. The merest beginner can learn, by Press Art School methods, to do original sketches, easily, successfully and without any of the drudgery formerly associated with Art Schools. What more fascinating hobby can there be for the long Winter evenings—with such possibilities for the proficient? FREE ILL'D PROSPECTUS Whether Sketching interests you as a Hobby or as a possible career, write for my Free Drawing Prospectus. This describes Postal Courses which have been demonstrably successful for 21 years and which have produced some of the leading Illustrators of the day. The Courses are arranged for Beginners and for Advanced Students and can be adapted to suit individual needs. Send a p.c. for the Prospectus—a Drawing Lesson in itself. Address:— Percy V. Bradshaw, Principal, PRESS ART SCHOOL (Dept. S. 152) Tudor Hall, Forest Hill, S.E. 23. The Magic touch of Linley Sambourne HERE is a masterly example of work executed with JOSEPH GILLOTT'S Drawing Pens. It reveals all Linley Sambourne's command of line and tone, and that wizardry of light and shade that always lends distinction to any one of his compositions. The example reproduced herewith, owing to mechanical difficulties incidental to every letterpress reproduction, loses much charm and force. But it is a wonderful tribute to GILLOTT'S Pens—now so invariably the choice of artists the world over. Sold by Artists' Colourmen, Stationers, etc., everywhere. The popular 659 Crow Quill is supplied on cards, 12 Pens and holder, for 2/-. Post free from address below if unobtainable locally. JOSEPH GILLOTT & SONS VICTORIA WORKS GRAHAM ST, BIRMINGHAM.
