Transcript | 72 VENICE. Taylor, formerly of Wigan, and the brother- in-law of Mr. Joseph Crook. For the former picture he gave the artist 1000 guineas, and the one now exhibiting was purchased for 1800 guineas. These are large prices, but the works would realise considerably more if now offered for sale, and we know that a Liverpool merchant was greatly disappointed that he was too late to become the possessor of Mr. Fildes' splendid productions. We most sincerely congratulate their fortunate owner. Mr. H. Woods exhibits excellent works in the Royal Academy this year. He is perhaps best known as a book illustrator and for his excellent designs produced in the Graphic. Both these clever artists—Fildes and Woods —who are also relatives, belong to Warrington ; and when we mention, as we have previously done, Mr. John Warrington Wood, sculptor, and Mr. William Davies, the author of " Songs by a Wayfarer " and " The Shepherd's Garden "—exquisite poems, full of refined beauty—and his exhaustive and admirably-written " Pilgrimage of the Tiber," besides numerous essays on poetry and art |
