geometrical drawing in the plane, to drawing in spacc, as practiced
in descriptive geometry. It appears to us, however, that it would
be better to go through stereometry at once, in geometrical pro-
jection, witli good aids for teaching, if it is to be continued at all.
“ Drawing Geometry,” by G. Müller, is a very practical little
work, by means of whicli the pupil can principally be trained in
the use of Ins instruments. The “ Collection of Naturalistic Orna
ments ” for inferior decorators, by Ch. Kämmerer, contains neat-
ly executed plates in the French manner.
As a world’s journal of art-industry, the “ Work-Shop,” of
Stuttgart, was exhibited in seven languages.
The architectural publications of Conrad Wittwer, Stuttgart,
must also receive honorable mention.
Baden. — The Grand Duchy of Baden, the same as at Paris in
1867, participated but little in the Educational Exhibition at
Vienna. The Industrial Improvement Schools receive the best of
care in tliis country, and their number at present amounts to
forty-three ; their aim, however, is general education, rather tlian
special. Great attention is also paid to the education of the
female sex since 1870.
Specimens of the work of pupils were exhibited only by the
Industrial Educational Institution of Carlsruhe. Among these
specimens most of the industrial branches were represented, and
the decorative designs (vessels and furniture) deserve to be espe-
cially mcntioned for their elegant, tasteful style, and their exact,
artistic execution. Excellent studies from Greek and Oriental
(polychrome) Ornaments must likewise be noticed. Of model-
ling there was but little, most of it ornamental.
Of drawing-copies there were exhibited, “Ornamental Drawing
for Citizcns and Industrial Schools,” by W. Tönius (Carlsruhe) ;
the forms represent various styles; the execution is somewhat
hard. The “Landscape Studies,” by J. W. Schirmer (died
1863), published l>y Vogelweider (Carlsruhe), liave been repro-
duced in excellent style, and will also be a welcome gift to
the friends of art, as a memento of this poetical artist.
