      Just now , when the Winter Exhibition at the Royal Academy is once inore directing the

      attention of amateurs to the Old Masters , the 7 th number [ December ] of last year ' s issue of

      the Viennese Chronw < ' fur vervielfdltigende Kunstcompleting the annual series of 1888

      , , comes appropriately to handi' The Ckrmtik is perhaps hot so well known here as its merits

      , deserve . The Society for Reproductive Art of Vienna has done much since its foundation in

      1879 to popularise a taste for art , and to promote the study of the various processes by

      which works of art niay be reproduced . It issues two periodicals , Die graphistfien Kiinste , of which six partscontaining two or three sheets

      of letterpress and , numerous text and separate illustrations , consisting of copperplate

      engravings , etchings , helio engravings , photo engravings , and woodcuts , appear during the year ; and

      the Chronik , already mentioned , which is given as a supplement to the Qraphische Kiinstebut

      may be subscribed for separately at the , low price of 4 marks per annjuniv The principal

      article in the number before us is devoted to an examination of the new illustrated books

      ! published in Vienna . The writer draws rather I a gloomy picture of the unproductiveness of the winter season of 1388-9 in illustrated

      books , and foresees small profit resulting to I artists from the new photo-mechanical means «» f reproductionof which American periodicals

      furnish M . such , monotonous examp les . Tho n umber con tains a dozen engravings of various
