Miss Laura H. Dudley discusses Florentine woodcuts; there is a short notice of the "Sacre Rappresentazioni" from the point of view of the student of the drama; and Mr. George Norbet Kates discusses "Paradise in the fifteenth century", as illustrated in one of Savonarola's sermons and by various fifteenth century painters.

The painting represents a daimio on horseback, and near him a standing and a seated figure. The picture is drawn in black on a paper probably once white but now gray in tone. There are slight touches of red in the trappings of the horse and the dress of the figures. The composition is of the simplest, the drawing spirited and sure. It is interesting to note that the picture is remarkably close...
