I T \ ^^ riff 7 ^) ip ^ have the YEAR of announcing to S you for the the Comp forthcoming letion of season our CHRIST . MAS AND NEW YEAR CARD •^*^^^^ K i mS ^ MSf Our simple designation for them is—THE ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS AND NEW CARD SERIES . ^ W ^^ r ^*^ Our ROYAL ACADEMY SERIES of last season -was preceded "by our PRIZE COMPETITION SERIES of the previous year . Great Artists were thus put into competition with Popular Artists , and we afforded ourselves an , unprecedented opportunity of testing the opinion of the Christmas Card-buying Public between the I works of these great rivals . The result , as evidenced by that surest of all tests , the Public demand , I aided by the unanimous opinion of the entire Press , may be considered a compromise equally flattering 1 to both competitors . A numher of the designs by the great Artists of Burlington House have been popular , while the 1 great proportion of the designs by Popular Artists from the Dudley Gallery and elsewhere have been voted artistic . As a consequence , our this season's productions embrace a fusion of both , and the i result is I Onr Artistic Christmas & New Year Cards for 1 & 834 «» after designs by at once the Greatest and most Popular Artists of the day . We believe these Cards will he found to mark an advance upon anything we have hitherto produced * Chromo-lithography of the highest class rendering them , literal Facsimiles of the superb designs ; while the choice Original Poetry by some of the best authors of the day , and the carefully-selected appropriate Quotations , which have ever been a recognised feature in our card productions , complete the ensemble . I I THE FOUR-FOLD SCREEN SERIES OF CAEDS , THE SATIN CARDS , FRING-ED AND PLUSH CARDSand our other important successes of last season , have been followed up in entirely New and , we , make , bold to say , equally successful designs . In all , over Three Hundred and Fifty Complete Sets are claimants for your I consideration . I ^ T SAMPLE BOOKS ABE NOW READ Y , and in the hands of our representatives . We invite your judgment upon these , no less than upon the remarkably Moderate Prices placed upon the entire Series throughout . We await your verdict upon our ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS AND NEW * YEAR CARDS with confidence , and , soliciting the favour of your commands , We are , Gentlemen , Yours faithfully , RAPHAEL TUCK & SONS . in- : J
