of Zmeskall himself, gives a more par

advice of the physician; but as he had
to 60 to him every day in order to have
fluid dropped into his ear, this grew
unpleasant, the more since in his i'm
patience, he felt little or no improve
ment, and he remained away. The
physician, questioned by Zmeskall, told
him the facts, and Zmeskall begged
him to accommodate himself to the
self-willed invalid, and consult his COM
fort. The priest, honestly DESTROYS to
help Beethoven, went to his lodgings
but his efforts were in vain inasmuch
as Beethoven in few days refused him
entrance, and thus neglected possible
help or at least amelioration of his

A Collection of Wood Block
Prints by Charles w. Bartlett

The art of Charles W. Bartlett, like
that OF several others who have ex-
hlhited here during the past season,
runs largely to foreign subject matter.
His exhibition at the Harlow CALLER
les is mainly one of wood-block prints
IN color, with an occasional water color
tc emphasize his dexterity in that
medium also. There are three series.
Prints of Japan, China and India. In
each ne adopts q motive and manner
IN full sympathy with the native char
acter and the native trend in art. The
prints Of japanese subjects are essen
TALLY in the Japanese style and spirit.
Ihe artist contents himself with repro
dueing the native print in subject, ar
rangement and color manipulation. He
does not mix his influences nor strive
after new style. One example, a
wanter scene, is charmingly simple
though most decorative. This is true
also of bridge print and the various
ones of fishing boats. The Indian and
Chinese conceptions are adapted in de-
sign and line to meet the subtleties
of the native character. Their colors
are clear and strong. To his ability
as printer and craftsman also goes
much of the credit for this quality as
well as his manifested purity of line.
The water colors, in their delicate
detail and color combinations, are very
well suited to the Interpretation of the
vivid and colorful scenes of the Orient

an example. The artist makes his chief
effort and with most success, however
in the woodblock prints. Particularly
those of Japanese content reproduce
many Of the fine qualities of the besi
native art.

In connection with an announcement
made by the Metropolitan Museum Of

Rare Series of Historic Prints
BY Doolittle Shown

Added to the already large display of
prints, wood blocks, Autographs and
etchings arranged in the galleries of
the Public Library there is a new ex-
hibition in the Stuart gallery of old
American engraving that furnishes an
interesting historical stpdy. The ex-
amples show the development of en-
craving in America through the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth centuries-a
period particularly prolific of this art,
Many native artists devoted themselves
to it for commercial as well as artistic
ends.
Among the wide variety of portraits.
historical subjects, documents and
business cards most interesting, per-
hSps, is the set of four color plates by
Amos Doolittle, Colonial engraver,
which represents the several stages of
the battles of Lexington and Concord
These prints, formerly in the Bancroft
collection, are said to be examples of
the first historical engravings ever ex-
ccuted in Anne erica. They bear the date
ITS and were published in New Haven.
certainly but short time after the en-
gagements which they picture took
place and possibly were made by an
eyewitness. They are, therefore. rare
historical records, illuminating as well
as interesting art specimens, despite
their crude workmanship and color
The first shows the surprise attack al
Lexington Common; the next view Of
the town Of Concord with the British
marching in, while the successive
plates illustrate the engagement at thu
North Bridge and the British retrea-
from Concord. In the historical series
is also the engraving after John Fran.
els Renault of the British surrender
after the Battle of Yorktown. An early
and unusual perturbation of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independence
IN stipple by Edward Savage exempli-
hes the curious manner of posturing
the figures in the early prints An
other example is John Norman's plate
of the death of Warren at the Battle
Of Bunker Hill, after the painting by
Trumbull. One of the most interesting
portrait engravings is Paul Revere's
rare print of Jonathan Mayhem. A
curious technical method, a combina-
ton of the stipple and line processes
is utilized. Revere, it is explained

engraving which in the middle OF the

4 Summer Exhibition at
The Folsom Galleries

Some twenty paintings are assembled
IN a summer exhibition at the Folsom
Galleries. There are examples bv
Homer d. Martin, John La Fargo, a.
H. Wyant, Jonas Lie, Childe Hassam.
Emil Carlson, J. Alden Weir. Bruce
Crane and others. Cranes two land
scapes, an the Mohawk Valleys and
"Autumnal Fields" are an interesting
contrast in development. The former
and earlier example is hillside sub
jet in slight variation of tone. though
having good color values. m the
autumn landscape of the latter the
artist has added color of warm.
velvety quality. 1t has feeling
Of transparency and purity of tone
that IS lacking in the earlier work.
There are other contrasts For in
stance, "A Recitation" by william L.
Carrigan, and Sleeping Willows" by
Childe Hassam, have much in common
with respect to treatment. Both are
done in broken vari-colored brush
strokes. Where Hassam utilizes this
method to enforce a certain effect of
light and shadow Carrigan, however,
adopts it as straight technique. Both
examples are exteriors with figures
introduced. By the name Clear
Waters" Jonas Lie doesn't half tell
the story of his fine little painting of
sailboats. The emerald color quality
of its waters is a striking observation.
And only one SO we'll versed in sea
lore could be expected to bring it out
as he does.
William H. Singers Sunshine and
Squall,' mountain-valley snowstorm,
has, as always in this painters snow
subjects, sense of bigness. Its only
color variation is in the thinly out
lined mountains and the trickling eur
rent of blue water below. Another of
Weir's Willimantic series depicts the
tall chimney and unimposing factory
buildings of that locality, surrounded
by fields and trees. Altogether it makes
thoroughly appealing ensemble. The
bright, soft greens and blues of
Everett Warmers THE Deserted |
House" and the lofty bridge concep-
ton of Spanish architecture by Harry
L. Hoffman are further examples OF a
show of interesting contrasts and va
riety. Other examples are Theodore
Robinson's an the Orchard" Guy Wig
gins's winter painting of St. Patrick's
Cathedral, a Venetian subject by
George H. Bogert, Jerome Myers and
a rural scene by Glenn Newell.
