Studio Magazine

Studio Magazine was an early 20th century illustrated magazine published in Britain.

The following passage in Nevile Shute's 1927 novel "So Disdained" captures the nature of the magazine and the influence it had on British people at the time:

"Lord Arner had in his library all the bound volumes of "Studio" since the beginning. When he was worried or upset over anything he used to go in there and sit down beside the fire, and turn these volumes over slowly. When he came to a picture that he liked he would sit staring at it for a long time without moving. He liked water-colour reproductions best, I think, and especially garden sketches, water colours of herbaceous borders, and paintings with delicate, bright colours. Sometimes he would pass the heavy volume across when he found a drawing that he particularly admired."

Frank Rutter was one of the contributors.Owen, Felicity (article credit). [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/54009 "Rutter, Francis Vane Phipson",] "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" (subscription required). Retrieved 11 August 2008.]
