Gowans’s Colour Prints

In Germany during the last tew years attempts have been made by some enterprising publishers to raise the standard of artistic taste of ordinary people with little money to spend in pictures, by issuing colour prints for wall-decoration, specially painted by the best artists in the country, at very cheap prices. These attempts have been attended with great success, and many hundreds of such prints can now be had. Messrs. Gowans & Gray have gone a step further still, and they have now issued the first three of a similar specially-painted series of pictures, 14 x io in size, which are sold in neat brown or white paper frames, ready to hang on the wall, at the unprecedented price of One Shilling each ; post free, 1/4.
THE TITLES OF THE THREE ISSUED ARE
No I. “MY POOR DOG TRAY,” by Charles Pears.
No. 2. “APPLE BLOSSOM,” by Jessie M. King.
No. 3. “FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD,”
by Stephen Reid
They are all artistic enough to hang in any room, no matter how luxurious, and should supersede those oil-colour daubs and grocer’s-calendar-pictures, which are so often to be seen hung up in British houses, where everything else, except the pictures, is in good taste.
