ROYAL ACADEMY—FIRST DEPRESSIONS.
| A spirited representation of “Ca’ Canny” on the Kentish coast during the initial work on the Channel Tunnel, circ. B.C. 200. | THE BULL-DOG BREED. An aged couple, their features disfigured by mosquito bites, bravely continue to sit for their portraits. |
| The kitten which all who know and love the best traditions of the Academy would expect to find in this picture has evidently strayed into | this one. We draw attention to this so as to prevent visitors from wasting their time in searching for it all over the galleries. |
| See below. The stout gentleman appears to feel some discomfort from the heat. That is why the Hanging Committee have thoughtfully suspended some ice over his head. | THE FAMOUS MARIONETTE SHOW AT THE QUAI D’ORSAY. Much interest is sure to be taken in this picture, as many people must have been wondering what these world-famous statesmen looked like. Here we have a scene of domestic unhappiness in a Scottish home. The good wife is scandalised by her husband’s levity in dancing on the Sabbath. |
