There is one picture in Miss Brick
dale's series fer the "idylls Of the King
which would aicne incline criticism to a
friendly consideration Of her work. Il
is the picture for the following passage:
And when at last he came TO Camelot
= wreath Of airy dancers hand-in-hand
/ Swung round the lighted lantern or the
And IN the hall itself was such feast
As never man had dream'd; for every
knight
Had whatsoever meat he long'd for served
BY hands unseen; and even as he said
Down in the cellars merry bloated things
! Shoulderd the splgot; traddl!ng on the
butts
While the wine ran: so glad were the
spirits and men
| Before the coming OF the sinful Queen.
The picture for this is a great tangle
which the airy dancers" play. 1t is a
grotrsGuc little world borne on the fra
giant fabric of immornoriai neture. pure
fantasy brushing reality with it's wings.
An artist capable Of interpreting mo
tive like this so justly may well be
trusted to give full value to all Of Ten
nyson's romantic scenes and images.
Miss Brlckdale has a clever hand, too.
amply adequate to the working out Of
her admirable conceptions. Her color
also, is pleasing, and in scme Instances,
notably that of the portrait Of Vivien, is
positively glowing. All these drawings
are mounted on pages Of vellum paper
and surrounded with decorative borders
in gold. The text is IN bold, well pro-
portioned type and the book is at
tractively bound.
The thin volume in which Mr. Howard
Chandler Chrsty has illustrated The
Princess" is sOt up with plenty Of the
appropriate frcu-frou. He makes the
best of his opportunities TO play with
stately and beautiful feminine types and
with flowing costume. His full page
pictures are bright with color. and he
supplies a number of black-and whites,
including graceful marginal vignettes.
There is not much atmosphere about
Mr.. Christy's drawings, but they are
brimful Of cleverness and vivacity.
The text. in unpretentious but good
type is in double columns There is Il
capital decorative cover, fifty floral in
design.
The other reprint of The Princess"
to which we have to refer is volume
convenient to the hand; not specifically
q picture book. though IT contains pict-
ures. These, in color and in black and
white have been drawn by Mr.. Everard
Hopkins smoothly enough. but with no
great charm. II IS, in fact for its we'll
printed page rather than for its illustra-
tione that this edition is to be praised.
