Fi-.her's picture was paiiite! in ISS3. ! r Riferring .to "Eor ol Su< !i i,< the King- j! cloni of Ijctvca." Mr. ..larcits Stone, says: ' "It was i>iie of the iinjst important pic- ■ c tures in the Mcl'uUoeh Collection and vv.is tne of the many exeellpnfc works I .sold 'for a mere 1 Fr.i-ii.k I'.ra.jiiley. win. is now ."id years j l-eriy port rail-. bill, in .his ,-ariier pic- i ! tures he was fon.d of dcsili-n. w : t.h iiici-L den:,, of evervilay life,, such :: - "The ! j Birthday."

His cavaliers fitd roundheads.l and the heavy horse- of the days of the ; civil wars, arc fnmilirtr to -many pnoplc tlirough his pnpiilarir\' among the art ■ rcproducirs. I ; Dendy Sadler is another artist whose ' work ha- been reprodutftl more _ha.ii |. once. Tiie titles of some of bis picture. J ] are :i. very good iiidiealion of the sort of j; thing he paints. "Darby and .loan," "The .: Willow's Birthday* arid •-Toddy at the |, Cheshire I'ltecsc." Another favourite •'' subject of this artist is an elopement, in the time of tlie Geor.es. wftb the bride- ! groom consoling the tearful briile in tbe!' inn parlour, a glimpse of the post ch—isf I through th- open door, chambermaii-!,;, post, boys, and "mine host" :i!l euriof.ty,l : Willi prt.lio.bly the irate father arri.ring! ' just too late to catch the impulsive young j . ]>eo|ile. 11 Mark Fisher is an e.rtist of quite a • different stamp. -luclgritg from its title, 1 ' "The Flock" should be one of tbe bright, i i sunny, breezy little landscapes he rctints ' : so wtell. His style is broad, and dis- I' tinctly "out. of doors." Tliere is nothing | of the studio about liis methods or light- j ing. Tlie picture should appeal to the I public, .•ind art students will lie particularly interested in this example of the work of this artist.
