A aRoae Way appeal to those subject to art influ- ences, but when the drawing takes on the flavor of antiquity and has any association with a famous artist or entered into his production of @ painting of renown, It rises in esteem from the collectors’ point of view. The original drawings by the old masters, now to be seen at the Et heimer Gallery, are well worth a vi accompanied as they are by an illu trated and very informative catae logue.

Mr. Davis has painted his ptetures in Alaska. He has therefore the per- sonal contact with his subjects that counts for so much if a proper {a- terp tion of the painted themes, follgws.

Such items as are here given a plac are rare. Old masters were not in t! habit of making their work common. ‘When they produced a masterpiece it was shown, and the fame of it travelled far and wide. It came down the ages . But the intimat studies made, during the forma period of any of the world’s great paintings, are not to be picked up in the art shops generally. ‘The present showing is therefore all the more wonderful and interesting.
