ART ON ENVELOPES.
Sir,-Though I have no _ particular knowledge of stamps I would like to take the liberty of offering a criticism of the "two outstanding examples of good design" reproduced in your issue of June 25. These excellent designs are marred in my opinion by the lettering, which is*technically referred to as "bastard style." This censure cannot, however, be applied to the New Zealand stamp showing the "V" with St. Paul’s in the background. I am writing this in the hope that Mr. Berry will not perpetuate. this error in his design for the forthcoming Royal Visit series.
