THE EXHIBITION of WORKS of MANU-
FACTURE and ART.
Tie Exhibition of Manufactured Art, now open in Birmingham,
will be treated at considerable length in the OCTOBER Number of
the AR r-JOURNAL.
It will be Illustrated by upwards of One Hundred and Fifty En-
gravings on Wood, c mprising, a large majority of the leading works
contained in the Exposition—in silver, electro-silver, bronze, brass
(cast and pressed), iron, porcelain, earthenware, and-ideas; of ob-
jects in papier-mache; of japanned goods ; earrings in wood ; and
the several productions in metal which constitute the main staple of
British industry, ant; render Birmingham the great capital of British
manufactures.
These will evidence an astonishing advance in Art within the last
few years ; and sufficiently prove the pow(' of the English manufac-
turer to compete with the best fabricants of France.
The exhibition at Birmingham cannot fail to have great influence
on the future course of Manufactured Art he England —exteading its
repute and augmenting its mercantile value.
The Editor of the Art-Journal has, therefore, considered it his duty
to make arrangements for reporting this Exposition on a scale some-
what commensurate with the magnitude and liberality of the enter-
prise.
The October Number of the Art-Journal will also contain three
engravings on steel—" Malvollo," engraved by Staines, from the
painting by MacliFe, RA..; " I he Truant " engra. ed by Phillibrown,
from the painting by Webster, P.. A.—both in the " Vernon Gallery ;"
and of " Sabrina," engraved by Artlett, from the statue, by Mar-
shall, A.U. t.
The Art-Journal of the past eight manths contains, besides several
hundred engravings on wood, no fewer than twenty-five engravings
on steel ; each of which may be regarded as a fine and beautifal spe-
cimen of Art : they cons st chiefly of line engravings from the best
pictures of the best British artists, contained in the Vernon Gallery—
the eodection presented by the late Robert Vernon, Esq., to the Bri-
tish people.
To the amateur, the conno'sseur, the artist, and the public gene-
rally-, this work cannot fail to be an acquisition of considerable value;
the purest and best Art is thus circulated at the smallest possible cost
to the purchaser : " Mr. Vernon's magniacent gift is thus made
doubly the property of the people. To the humblest classes through-
out the whole kingdom it becomes in soma degree accessible, and a
Source of enjoyment and instruction."
The Art-Journal may be ordered of any bookseller in town or
c.untry.
