How a man may vanquish circum-

strikingly shown by the example of a
young artist, . George Bissell whose
exhibition of drawings is at the Red-
fern Gallery, London.
Mr. Bissell, a quiet, dark young man
of only twenty-eight, started work In
a Nottingham milia when hewas thir-
teen,
hinteen, Tolling early acid late, he had
few opportunities of exercising his
gifts, but never gave up hope, Finally,
after the war, he came to town as a

tied recognition. This, it is satisfying
to know; has now come in good mesa -
