GORDON CRAIG_Book-plates of To-day

"The Page" has been so much exploited in the public press that it

seems supererogation to write anything more about it or Gordon Craig,

one the embodiment of the other. Mr. Craig is very much of an

all-round young man; brought up in the atmosphere of the theater and

of books and pictures, he has dabbled in all to some purpose. He has a

clear-cut individuality that differentiates him and his--work, I was

going say, but perhaps play would be better, for Mr. Craig is one of

those inconsequential chaps that seem to take things as they come and

be chipper and happy and youthful-hearted with all. His book-plate

work is of the meat-ax variety and inspired by the rough wood-cuts of

the early engravers. His work has the air of the poseur that is as

balm to the heart of the dilettante.
