ON CHARTS AND PICTURES FOR USE IN SCHOOLS. 383 
Mr. R. Catterton-Smith, Municipal Schocl of Art, Birmingham, considers the 
drawings of the late John Swan, R.A., and the enlarged photographs from Bewick’s 
famous ‘ Book of Birds’ as appropriate subjects. He also suggests photographs of 
the animals in the Assyrian Basement of the British Museum and of the Japanese 
Birds in the British Museum. 
Mr. O. H. Latter directs attention to the excellent whole-piate photographs which 
have appeared during the last eight years in ‘ Wild Life ’ (now out of print), and the 
fine series by Mr. Douglas English, dealing with British creatures. 
Mention may also be made of the striking animal photographs by Mr. Gambier 
Bolton, published by the Autotype Co., Oxford Street, London. 
Mr. J. Reeves, Leighton House, Leighton Buzzard, has prepared a series of seven 
long charts showing graphically the ‘ Evolution of the Earth and its Organisms,’ 
but they have not yet been published. 
V. CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS. 
Pictures, etc., for Decorative and Educational Purposes in Science Buildings. 
There are few satisfactory reproductions of pictures suitable for the purposes of 
the Committee, and not many pictures themselves of the type required. A good 
example is the fresco already referred to, page 378, painted by Ford Madox Brown 
of John Dalton, assisted by a number of boys, collecting Marsh Gas from a woodland 
pool. Such a picture presents not only the portrait of an eminent man of science, 
but it attracts by its human interest and suggestiveness. Artists might be found 
who would undertake the painting of a few such arresting subjects connected with the 
life and work of some of our great physicists and chemists. Their reproductions 
would form admirable pictures for our Science Halls and Libraries. Failing these 
the reproduction of a few good portraits such as those in the National Portrait Gallery 
might be made; but their value for decorative purposes would depend a great deal 
on the quality of the reproduction. 
The chief portraits of Scientific Men in the National Portrait Gallery are given 
below with their catalogue number and artist.
