Bransom'2 Nature Pictures
Show Attractive Qualities

Paul Bransom, formerly a resident of
this city, but for some years connected
as an illustrator with prominent maya
zines I'm New York. is I'm the city for
the winter and is carrying on his work
as an illustrator I'm a small studio in
Twelfth street. Mr.. Bransom is now
entirely outside Of the field in which he
first gained his reputation as q comic
illustrator. and has been for some time
doing not only serious work, but com
nlendable work in mis- nature studies in
ColOrs. which have been reproduced
i'm ColOrs as magazine covers. In his
studies Of animals he shows a perCep-
ton of the pTOpricties which gives TO
his work an individual quality OF At
tractiveness. FerOcious traits of ami
mails are not emphasized, but the re-
lation Of the animal to MS proper place
and the fact that an animal is not at
all times engaged in the destruction of
some other animal is a characteristic
OF his work
One Of his best examples. The First
Sons" a composition showing a group
of wolves baying at yHe moon, con-
vevs an idea of vast moonIit sOli-
t15de, with the wolves sOrely puzzled
with a condition Of nature they are
unable to understand A sense Of pity
for the conditions surrounding wild
animals seems to be a subjective quail
ity Of his work.

BOSTONIANS SHOW
WORK Of CAMERA
Marines, Genre Pictures,
and Character Studies
on Exhibition.

The third of the series of small Pho
Jographic exhibitions provided by the
membership OF the Washington Camera
Club in the Interchange Society, Is now
on exhibition at the rooms OF the Capt.
tai Camera Club. in + street, and viii
remain on exhibition for two weeks.
The pictures are the work Of the Bos-
ION Camera Club and, as compared
with the exhibition which just preceded
this-the work Of the Photographic So
CieIy OF elpnia-iliustrates the diff
feTent ideals TO be found in the methods
Of the TWO organizations.
The work oF the B1stoniaus seems on
the whole more emphasized in the lines
of rational p.ctoriahsm. With these
members the temperamentaI qualities
do not seem TO be 50 strongly marked.
1t is true that i'm the landscapes cXhib-
tied there is a strong tendency TO un-
usual cloud effects. but the subject Of
cloud photography covers a very wide
field, and cannot be confined within
conventional prohibitions. The work Of
the landscape photographers shows a
keener appreciation Of natural beauty,
and less Of the sentiment Of expression
of moods of nature which are more rare
than beautiful.
In the portion OF the exhibition COM
prising the genre pictures, Miss Saran
J. Eddy has sent pictures in her Gus
tomary vein--chsrming studies OF child

best examples. The picture Is that OF
