Prominent Among Messrs. Marion & Co.'S N...
Prominent among Messrs . Marion & Co . ' s novelties for the season is an elegant series of
twelve female figures on opal , coloured . They represent the daffodil , daisy , foxglove , forget-menot , hawthorn , honeysuckle , primrose , poppies ,
violet , wild rose , water lily , and wild hyacinth . The costume of the ladies is symbolical of these flowers . The opals are produced in two sizes , panel and 1 \ in . by 3 J in . They will doubtless
be useful in suggestion for fancy dresses . Messrs . Marion & Co . have a very fine show of hand-painted Christmas Cards for the new season .
We have only space to name a few of the more striking varieties . . Among these are : animals , birds and fishchiefly in sporting character ;
, double floral cards , the flower detached , with view behind ; figures in fancy costume ; panels of English and foreign birds and fiuit on one card ;
also presentations of the old English inn signboard , & c , and flowers life-size , on panels . Then there are floral folding ^ j cards painted j _ ------ --j , the exterior
being stamped in relief in ' assorted bronzes '; Christmas card book-markers and D'Oyleys , and screens for candle shades . And there are opals in
L oil with plush mounts , besides views , birds , & c , in water-colour , very delicate and artistic . But the most striking examples are , perhaps , the
panels of English birds , painted to life by an mention artist of distinction of some ' effects . To which in haze we and would colour add
boats , ships and steamers dimly seen , so deftly done as to remind the spectator , if it be not profanation to say it , of Turner ' s handling of light
and mist on the water . All the foregoing articles are hand-painted .
The Christmas And New Year Cards Produce...
The Christmas and New Year Cards produced by Messrs . Hildesbeimer & Faulkner for the
coming season are characterised by the delicacy of colouring and highly finished printing for which they have been distinguished for some
time past ; indeed , some intended for young folks are , we think , almost too good for children . Chiefly noticeable in the collection are the
numerous varieties of jewelled cards in mother-ofpearl , diamond , bronze of every shade , and in fact all manner of different tints . the articles
, mostly represented being bells , peacocks' feathers , fans , flowers , butterflies , and figures of birds which make very mJeffective cards . There are also
some very hafidsome cards with the words ' Souvenir ' and * Mizpah ' in jewelled letters , the illustrations being printed on satin . Two
mechanical cards are worth special mention ; one is in the shape of a folded leaf , the other takes the form of a hamper , these disclosing , when opened
, bunches of primroses and violets . Before concluding- we must mention some ingenious novelties in the way m / of children ' s cards . The
first represents a pie , which when opened discloses the four and twenty blackbirds of the nursery rhyme singing with all their might . Next are a
series representing Punch and Judy shows in the various stages of performance . . These are double cards which when unfolded the showman inside
is seen managing his puppets . Another card give
