A PREMIUM GIFT POE OUR READERS, This society has been established for the diffusion of artistic productions, under the patronage of some of the most eminent art connoisseurs in England. Amongst them we may mention H.R.H. the Princess Lohisa of Hesse, the Duke of St. Albans, the Duke of Leeds, the Earl of Egmont, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Romney, the Viscount Campdeu, the Bishop of Bangor, the Deans of Westminster (Dean Stanley), Canterbury, Manchester, and Winchester, Lords Sondes, Willoughby de Broke, Thurlow, Rokeby, General Sir Percy Douglas, Major-General Sir H. Rawlinson, &c., &c., &c. The above names are indisputable guarantees as to the care and labor of this remarkable society, which up to the present time has no rival in any other country. The purpose aimed at by the society is of the greatest importance to the public, and its effect is certain to cultivate and foster a taste for the Fine Arts amongst all classes of society. Masterpieces of art are not generally within the reach of all purses, therefore we find the lower classes who are desirous of decorating their homes, running after the cheap and showy things hitherto foisted upon them, and spending their few shillings in worthless pictures which vulgarise the taste and perpetuate the ignorance on the subject of the Fine Arts which is commonly displayed throughout this country. The National Art Society has fortunately within its power the means of checking this deplorable tendency, and achieving its noble end. The greatest and best known chef d'ouvres of our great masters have been acquired, and by a new and special process, instead of taking a few hundred copies of engravings from one plate, which may he worth as many hundred pounds, the Society is able to produce many thousand copies, excellent in excution, and which will bear favorable comparison with impressions worth from one to five guineas each. This is one of the greatest boons we have for some time been favored with, because it provides that the homes of the poor, as well as the rich, should possess, if not the original, a reproduction equal in beauty as a work of art to that of the engraving itself. THE NATIONAL ART SOCIETY, 57, PITT-STREET, SYDNEY, N.S.W., (In union with the London House, 30, Paternoster Row), have consented to offer to the readers of this journal two works of Art at a price which makes them almost a gift. These pictures have been usually sold at from one to two guineas each, while artists’ proofs are now worth about five guineas each. To secure those two pictures each reader must cut out the voucher found below, and forward it, together with a Post Office Order (made payable to W. Price, General Post Office, Sydney), for six shillings, or 6s. 6d. stamps to THE NATIONAL ART SOCIETY, 57, Pitt-street, Sydney, N.S.W., and they will receive the pictures free of charge, carefully packed, and in good condition. If only one picture is required, a money order for three shillings and sixpence, or stamps, for each must be sent, and the publication not required must he struck out -with a pen. PREMIUM VOUCHER.
