122 ART EDUCATION. 
The composition of the Ornament is always made with reference to 
the finished object, and its purpose is invariably kept in view. 
Figure-drawing played a more subordinate part among the spe- 
cimens exhibited. Although some of the antique statues left 
nothing to be desired in careful execution, the anatomical studies 
(from the Discobolus) were sufficient to expose its weakness. 
Of studies from nature (academical drawings), only a few were 
shown. 
Of sculptures there were to be found only some Ornaments, and 
reliefs with figures, of no special importance. The best of tliem 
was a relief of the (anatomical) Discobolus, in which the forms 
were correctly and truthfully given. 
Of linear drawings there were submitted studies in projection 
and perspective, a few machine-drawings, and pretty architectural 
drawings, among which interior decorations of good style deserve 
prominent mention. A restoration of the Lysikrates monument at 
Athens, following Hansen’s plan with but unimportant devia- 
tions, merits a notice for its neat, painstaking execution. 
But the most important specimens exhibited by the Institution 
consisted of the etcliings executed by the scholars from objects in 
the museum, for the purpose of dissemination. This exceedin<dv 
rieh collection embraced plates of great beauty. The chromolith- 
ographs from Originals in the museum, published by the Institution, 
are also worthy of all praise. The decorative drawings, “ The 
Twelve Months” and “ The Four Seasons,” composed by E. F. 
Poynter, A.R.A., an artist of great talent, for the Kensington 
Museum (as “ decorative designs for the Grill Room ”), must like- 
wise be mentioned. 
It has before been observed that the foreign possessions of 
England were represented on a very comprehensive scale. Among 
thein India, \\ ith its industry and its treasures of art, stood in 
the fiist rank. The exposition of the School of Art at Bombay, 
consisting of models and drawings by the pupils, as well as of 
photographs from such, was very interesting. The tendency of 
this school, in regard to style, is quite peculiar. Flowers are 
used as subjects of study in modelling and in drawing, while 
old Hindoo torms and the forms of the European Renaissance are 
employed in ornamentation. The compositions resulting from
