JEAN ELIOT's GOSSIP OF SOCIETY
LOST ART IS
EFFECTIVELY
REVIVED
Capital Artist Will Show
Examples Of Pore
Edge Painting

HyHE invitations which Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin Barber Clark,
have sent out for an exhibition
OF fore edge painting" have set
people to specializing as to just
what is this lost art revived by
Mr.. Clark. This argues no ignor-
ance on the part, of ,questioners,
for the art of fore edge painting
has never been very well-known to
any but few connoisseurs Of
Bumptuous books and from what
can be gathered very little has
ever been written about it.
This curious art consists in paint
ing water color views depicting
landscapes, castles, neralelic en-
blems, ETC., on the fore edges Of
books under the gliding in such q
manner as to appear only when the
book is flared open, disappearing
under 1t when the book. Is closed.
"A very delicate artistic gift Is, OF
course, necessary to work of this
character, and there is no wonder
that, although this form OF art
first appeared in england in the
seventeenth century, there are not
more than a half dozen names
identified with it even row.
The work first appeared in Eng
land in the sumptuous volumes pre-
pared by Samuel Mearne, book
binder, for the library of Charles III.
The name of the artist who did the
painting is not preserved in the
references in the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, but about ninety Of
these beautiful volumes are in ex-
istance, several preserved in the
British Museum.
Some of the most beautiful fore
edge painting was done about
eighty years later by Edwards OF
Halifax between It'll and 1924.
Many artists tried it but were I'M
successful, very few mastering the
art, which has been lost since 1884.
Since then it has been an UNI
trodden path.
1t appears that the work,
executed only by artists Of note,
was very rare even in those days.
Great interest in this art has
been aroused of late and choice
examples are eagerly sought by
collectors.
The very charming examples Of
the work which Mr.. Clark, well
known as portrait painter, has
done will be shown at the tea
/ which he and Mrs. Clark are Civ
ing next Thursday at their home in
Cleveland Park and afterward a
public exhibition will be arranged.
Tentative plans are also being
made to show the work in New
York, and through Allyn Williams,
of the Royal Society of Miniature
lists, now in Washington, to arrange
q London exhibition.
At the tea on Thursday, Mrs.
Clark will be assisted by Mrs. Min
nigerode Andrews, Mrs. George
Oakley Totten.s .jr., Mrs. C.. b.
Mayo and other ladies.
