"The International Studio" was a successor to the British art journal, "The Studio," begun in 1893 by Charles Horne and editor Gleason White; the International edition debuted in New York in 1897 and continued until 1931. British publisher John Lane had previously, with partner Charles Elkins, been publisher of works designed by Charles S. Shannon and Charles Ricketts, and in 1887, the two co-founded London's The Bodley Head publishing firm. Lane then relocated to New York in 1896, forming the John Lane Company, producers of this periodical.**SELECTION of British artists include: in-depth pieces on Charles S. Shannon, the stained glass panel designs of Edward Burne-Jones, A.E. Newcombe, E.A. Taylor and Jessie M. King and the Glasgow School of Art, William Morris in Glasgow, the National Competition of Schools of Art 1910, the Brussels Universal Exhibition of 1910, Italianate, and Arts and Crafts style architecture. A number of British Arts and Crafts style fine book bindings are illustrated, a number of them by women, as well as other handcrafts shown at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society. Book illustration and architectural illustration are also considered. AMERICAN art is also heavily promoted: Frank W. Benson, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, William Merrit Chase and William Morris Hunt being shown in Germany. Works at the Metropolitan Museum, a Philadelphia Architectural Exhibition, Miniatures by Laura Coombs Hills (of Newburyport) and other women painters of the American Society of Miniature Painters, Philadelphia portraitist Ella S. Hergesheimer, the Jewelry Exhibition in Boston at the Society of Arts and Crafts in 1907. et al. INTERNATIONALLY, there is a whole series on Japanese art including Utamaro's eighteenth century woodblocks in color reproduction, Japanese ceramic artists, silks and carvings in wood or jade. A book by Yone Noguchi, "The Pilgrimage" is reviewed. Spanish painters Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida and the Basque artist Ignacio Zuoaga are profiled in a review of a show at the Hispanic Society of America. A landscape scene by Swedish painter Carl Larsson, younger brother to King Gustav V, is illustrated in color. German bauhaus interiors earn coverage in the discussion of The Brussels Universal Exhibition: Max Läger, Emanuel von Seidl, R. Riemerschmid, Bruno Paul and Albin Müller being shown. Otto Fischer and Hans Von Hayek are mentioned in a Vienna exhibition. **PROVENANCE: From the Private Library of original owner, HIRAM HOOKER BICKFORD, A.I.A. ( 1864-1929), a Barre, Vermont born son of a carpenter and house builder, who began his architectural career in central Massachusetts as trainee draughtsman at the Fitchburg Offices of Henry M. Francis. In 1887, he relocated to the Elmira, New York area, joining Architects Pierce and Dockstader, becoming a partner in 1891. Bickford and partner Joseph H. Pierce, went on to some fame: "For a period of at least three decades, 1890-1920, Joseph H. Pierce and Hiram H. Bickford were the foremost architects of the central-southern tier of New York State. In Elmira, a city with a half dozen firms, no others matched Pierce & Bickford's facility in handling the most up-to-date stylistic fashions. Their professional supremacy extended east to Cortland, north to Geneva and west to Allegany County. They were also a major influence in northern Pennsylvania and received large commissions throughout the rest of New York and in New Jersey." (Architects of Standing, Pierce and Bickford, Elmira, N.Y. 1890-1932 by Roger G. Reed) Bickford was elected President of the Central New York Chapter of the A.I.A. from 1918-1920. His notable works include stone stairs and walls at Watkins Glen, The Arnot Art Gallery, Corning Glass Works, Cortland County and Arnot-Ogden Hospitals, Elmira College Library, YMCA and Masonic Temple, as well as the Elmira Free Academy.
