Best Engraving
LONDON, July 9. According to a message from Rome, Mr. Blair Rowland Hughes-Stanton has been awarded a prize of 5000 liras, approximately £53, for the best engraving submitted by a foreigner at the international biennial exposition of art at Venice. Tho prize was offered by Count Volpi, president of the exposition. 1L Duce’s prizes of 25,000 liras, approximately £265 each, for a foreign painter and sculptor went to Zuloaga, who had a magnificent display in the Spanish Pavilion, and to Hermann Hubaeher, of Switzerland, whose bronze portrait-heads attracted great attention. | Mr. Hughes-Stanton »s woodcuts, which were an outstanding feature of the exposition, were for tho most part done as book illustrations. Those from Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress,” Milton’s “ Comus, ” and the works of D. H. Lawrence, were particularly remarked. He is the son of the late Sir Herbert Hughes-Stanton, R.A., and studied with Leon Underwood. •
