MR. C. S. HOPKINSON SPEAKS ON BLAKE AT FOGG MUSEUM

Lecture at 3.30 This Afternoon Deals With Current Exhibition.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In connection with the exhibition of the works of William Blake, Mr. Charles S. Hopkinson '91, will talk informally on "Blake as a Painter," in the gallery of the Fogg Art Museum at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon. The exhibition has been somewhat rearranged and will remain in its present form until February 6.

The removal of some of the books and drawings has made room for several items not previously shown at the Museum, among them two small portraits of Blake, one in pen and ink by Linnell, and the other by Phillips, and several of Blake's letters, one in which he speaks of his ill-health and mentions in the Dante illustrations, probably one of the last letters he wrote. Copies of Blake's prophetic books, except the Milton, are still on exhibition, also the engravings for the Book of Job and the water-color drawings of Job "inventions."

A copy of "Europe; a Prophecy," uncolored--although finished with a light wash--has been added to the collection. This copy shows the very rare introductory lines.

On Wednesday afternoon, February 4, at 3.30, in the Lecture Room of the Museum, Professor George Herbert Palmer '64, will read selections from Blake's works.
