The presentation work for this year consists of an exquisite line engraving on steel, by William Forrest, H.R.S.A°, of Edinburgh, after the painting “ Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe,” by the late Horatio M'Culloch, R.S.A. Size of engraved surface, 27by 17 inches. The engraving is, in every respect, worthy of the painting—the scene represented being as picturesque as any that can be found in Scotland. The composition of the landscape exhibits, in all its details, that marvellous poetic skill of which the great national artist was the acknowledged master, aud the result of his combinations is a picture of surpassing beauty, on which the eye of the lover of nature is never weary of reposing.
