"ART" EXHIBITION

The elaborate "sell" which goes by this name used to be a regular
institution in church bazaars and might well be rejuvenated as a
novelty.

A regular printed catalogue is got up, containing apparently the names
of a collection of pictures or sculptures, each object duly numbered
and with the name of the artist appended. In some instances the name
of a (supposed) picture is followed by an appropriate quotation in
poetry or prose, after the orthodox fashion of art galleries. We append,
by way of illustration, a selection from the catalogue of a collection
which has met with great success: EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF LIVING
ARTISTS
