The Hudson-Fulton exhibit in Lhe Museum, which closed November i, and 

 which was successful beyond all expectations, seems to have inaugurated an era 

 of special exhibits. The collection of prints and engravings discussed below is 

 already on view, and on the night of the Darwin memorial meeting, November 

 20, there will be displayed for the first time a biological exhibit illustrating 

 certain factors in evolution and other subjects with which Darwin was more or 

 less intimately connected. Both of these exhibits will remain in the' Museum 

 until December 1. 



The prints and engravings now to be seen in the Museum form what is 

 perhaps the finest collection of works of art of this type ever assembled on 

 Staten Island. It has been secured through the active interest of Miss Lucy J. 

 Kipper, of the Art Section Committee on Exhibits, and marks a step forward 

 in the work of this committee, which has hitherto confined its exhibits chiefly 

 to ceramics. 



The collection is practically 111 two divisions, one consisting entirely of old 

 engravings and etchings, illustrating almost all of the known processes. There 

 are engravings on wood, copper and steel, also some fine examples of litho- 

 graphs. Some of the work has the clearness and freshness of an original pen 

 and ink drawing. One case is devoted entirely to the characteristic work of 

 Hogarth, who, if not always refined in his choice of subjects is always interest- 

 ing for his wonderful accuracy of detail and the freedom of his drawing. 



The second division includes only modern work. It consists of eight 

 crayon studies in color by Joseph Pennell, an illustrator of eminence, and thirty- 

 three prints, some in color, others in black and white or sepia, by Charles F. 

 W. Mielatz. The subjects of all these pictures are scenes in early or late New 

 York, and hence possess an especial interest. As works of art they are of the 

 highest order; and we hope that every member of the Association will interest 

 himself in the exhibit, and will advertise it among his friends.
