Arthur Hughes (British, 1830- 1915), although not a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was a convert to its tenets mn 1850 and was deeply influenced by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Hol- man Hunt, and John Everett Millais. "The Lady with the Lilacs" was painted for Lewis Carroll in 1863; it is referred to in Carroll's -/4l.w. VISA M ) nar diary and is documented in a photograph of the author's study mn Christ Church, Oxford. The painting has been .tentatively suggested as a prototype for Car- roll's own drawings of Alice in "Alice's Adventures Under- ground." The exhibition explores Hughes' relationship with Car- roll and other literati and artists in Oxford in the 1860's,and con- siders his contribution as both painter and illustrator. This exhibition is organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Ontario Extension Service. "British Prints of the Nine- teenth Century" is a special col- lection of prints from the nine- teenth century, highlighting the work of George Baxter and Joseph Mansell. Baxter's success in executing his delicate work was due to artistic ability, combined with his knowledge of color and extreme patience. When he licensed other printers to use his process, although they were cap- able men and some had Baxter plates, they were never able to reproduce his effect. Mansell's prints can be recog- nized by their liberal use of bright greens, reds and yellows. 'He specialized in country and sportng scenes but signed very little of his work.
