menced the composition of the illustra-
tons of her husbands poems, which
have since been published, and which,
while they did not openly parade her
name, were well known to be the prod
net of her pencil. AS works of art they
were generally considered to be quite
equal, to say the least, to the verses
which they served to embellish.
Princess Louise as a painter is a
devoted student OF nature. Her studies

sons and in all weathers In Canada
She had little stretching box built-a
portable studio that could be taken
apart, carried and set UP anywhere else
You chose at a moments notice. In
this little house she could sit and pant
in the bitterest weather, the outlooks
from the windows affording her the
subjects for her studies. But she quite
as readily accommodated herself to a
seat on the grass when a sketch was
worth making, and she executed Sc
ries of water color pictures of Quebec
from boat in the st. Lawrence river,
with only a stalwart boatman for a
companion and protector, amid ali the
noise and hurry of passing craft. While
she was engaged in this employment
Sidney Hall sketched her portrait,
which was reproduced in an engraving
on wood and made the rounds of the
world
Princess Louise and also the late
Princess Alice We're regular contribu-
tors at the London Water Color society
on Pail Mall. Probably the reason
why none of the royal family exhibited
at the Royal Academy was because the
queen was practically at the head of
that institution. and it might therefore
be hardly fair for them TO enter into
competition there. Apropos Of Prin-
cess Alice. her untimely death may
be said to have cut short the most prom

It is no SECRET IA England. though it
is probably news TO most people in this
AcouRtry, thatQueen Victoria, is n very
accomplished amateur artist. In her
early girlhood, as the daughter OF an
impoverished member of the royal FAM
lily, her education devolved upon her
mother, and the duchess of Kent did
herself honor in the execution Of this
DUTY. This little princess first draw
ing master was Richard Westall, an in
significant painter, bat q very fair
sraugfltsmansaA instructor, and very
popular book Illustrator in his day. Ha
gave her her first lessons in dra wing
and died the year before she assembled
fhe throne. However, he had laid a
good foundation for heriaIt in his early
lessons TO her. He taught her to draw
accurately and, firmly, and gave her also
instructions in etching.
Later she had the valuable, advice of
u number of eminent British artists
like Sir Edward Landseer, Daniel
aiaRlise, Sir David Willie. Sir George
Hayter, Charles II. Leslie and others.
Her last adviser was undoubtedly Land
seer, for whom she had great friend
ship, and whose influence may be traced
in many of her productions. Aftep her
marriage with Prince Albert, who was
also an amateur artist, they devoted
much OF their leisure to painting, draw

trait in its time. The queen made an
etching Of it also.
/ 1t should be remarked here that with
but few exceptions the artistic produc-
tons of the royal household of Eng
land remain in the private collection Of
the queen. Her own works are never
shown in public, though she has pre-
sented many drawings and etchings to
| friends and even given them to the
serving people at Osborn, Windsor and
/ Balmoral to decorate their walls withal.
Some of her productions have, how
ever, filtered out into public channels
| from no desire Of her own. Only a few
weeks ago set of etchings by her were
picked up in the way of trade by a Dub
lin art dealer. They had been pre-
scented by her to the countess of Charlie
mont, whose husband had been great
art collector in his day, and upon the
countess death had drifted into strange
hands, through which they ultimately
found their way into the market.
Doubtless some which she presented to
her humble defendants viii also eventu-
ally become Improperly of private col
iectcrs.
Prince Albert in his etchings, draw
ings and paintings distinctly betrayed
the influence of the German school of
his time In fact he had been instructed
in art during his boyhood at the little
ducal court Of Saxe-Coburg exactly as
any child might be taught painting and
music and the rest at the country house
of his parents. His drawing master
was one OF the old school. and he taught
his pupil lessons on old rules. The
prince. while more si1illful as a painter
in oils than his royal consort, was never
possessed of as graceful or free a move
ment of the pencil, nor did he ever
equal her facility in the use OF water
colors. His works were mainly sketches
of his children and of his domestic sur
roundings and some attempts at i'm
aginative compositions in oil all of
which are jealously guarded in the pri-
vate collection of the queen.
However, he had a sympathetic taste
for the arts and exercised a wide in
1iuence in advancing them in England
He was musician and amateur com
poser, and so possessed double scope
He was deharred, from the inferiority of
his rank to his wife, from participating
in British politics or government, and
so devoted himself to the education of
his children in the arts and to public
work. That in this direction he also
did much the scheme of the Kensing-
ton museum and art school abundantly
testifies.
