A further instalment of facsimiles of the masterpieces has come to. band. This lot, which numbers 100 pictures, features particularly the work of British artists, Constable, Gainsborough, Holbein among them, which makes the collection of facsimiles comprehensive iu the scope of art they cover.
The pictures have now been framed, and will be on exhibition about the end of the month, and certainly throughout. the year-end holidays. These facsimiles are the gift, to the National Gallery of the Carnegie Trust, of New York, which has done so much for education and culture generally throughout the English-speaking world.
