Now in preparation, and will be Issued about the end of April next, W. J. PRIOTOR'S Splendid View of the OITT OF DUNEDIN. W. J. PRICTOR begs to announce that he was fortunate enough to secure the services of the late - MR G O'BRIEN, Artist and Draughtsman (who was admitted by all to have had unequalled facility in bringing first-class knowledge of draughtsmanship and architecture to bear on this class of work).to paint a picture of the City of Duuedin for reproduction as a COLOURED LITHOGIIAPH. The painting was finished a short while prior to Mr O'Brien's death, and is pronounced by competent critics to be not only correct in detail—indeed, a view of the city as truthful a3 the reflection in a mirror—but to bo a highly meritorious and artißtio painting, tho reproduction of which will be worthy of a place in every home. Accompanying the view there will be a Key Plan, indicating the principal buildings in the city and the notable points in the landscape. I have entrusted the lithographing of the picture to the Caxton Printing Company, whose success in coloured lithography is so well known. The view will be PRINTED IN 12 COLOURS, 10 that proper Boftness and delicacy of outline may be assured. In the Otago Daily Times of the 9th October appeared the following notice of Mr O'Brien's picture:— " One of the very best of the many excellent views of Dunedin that have been painted is a large water colour that was fiuiahed by the late Mr George O'Brien only a few days before his death. It was executed, we believe, to the order of Mr W. J. Prictor, for the especial purpose of being chromolithographed, and the artist has evidently taken unusual pains over his work. It is satisfactory and at the same time a little surprising to find that this necessary attention to detail has not been allowed in any way to fetter the artist. There ib nothing at all cramped or artificial about the work which, while accurately portraying the city and its surroundings, has all the breadth and freedom of the ordinary landscape. Of thetwovantage points fromwhiehthemost comprehensivevlewof Dunedin can be obtained W. J. Prictor chose the best. Any position to the north, near Logan's Point, commands the city well, but the distance is too great, while thehills to the southward, whence Mr O'Brien took bis sketch, give an equally complete view of the town and bring it much closer. The immediate foreground of this picture shows a grass-grown declivity, immediately beyond which is to be seen Fernhill Club, prettily girt with trees, the Southern Cemetery, &c. From this the whole city stretches away—a very distinct and striking panorama. Although none of the principal buildings are emphasised in the way that sometimes disfigures such pictures, they are all perfectly recognisable. St. Matthew's Church, the Iron and Woodware Faotory, First Church, the Town Hall, Knox Church, and the University, &c. can all easily be picked out, while right away in the background glisten the white monuments of the Northern Cemetery, mere specka In the distance, but standing out dainly against a belt of purple bush. Beyond this again rise the Ravenabourne hills and Mount Cargill, all very accurately drawn—in fact, the drawing and perspective of the whole picture:iß almost faultless. It takes into the left all the higher parts of the city as far as the High School rectory, and to the right embraces a fine view of the harbour, the wharves, and the railway overbridge. The picture ia well although not too brightly lighted, and Mr O'Brien's whole scheme of colouring is very judicious. The contrasts are sufficiently distinct, but the tints are subdued and harmonise very pleasantly. A more promising subject for the chromo-lithographer could not be wlihed, and the Caxton Printing Company, who have'been entrusted with this part of the work, will no doubt be ableto turn out excellent work, judging fromsome similar work they have now in hand they have quite mastered the many difficulties of the process. When ready for issue, the chromo should command aready sale, especially as it will represent the last work of an artist whose productions are well and favourably known in this city." The size of the picture ib 34in x 24in, so that it will he just within the postal limit. The canvasser will call at every house in Dunedin and suburbs within the next few weeks, and orders will be supplied immediately the picture 1b ready for ssue, about the end of April next.
