MAIL ISSUE OF THE "GRAPHIC."

I The very generous encouragement of jjie public and a desire to shoAV Avhat -an be done in illustrated journalism in bo young a colony has prompted the jgsue thi3 Aveek of a SPECIALLY ENLARGED NUMBER, Gf which nothing more need be said than that it is put fonvard T7OR COMPARISON AND TO STAND CRITICISM WITH ANY SIXPENNY ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL OR MAGAZLXE ISSUED IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD.

IT IS NOT CLAIMED

that the "Graphic" is better than the many beautiful periodicals in London jad America, but it emphatically claims a n absolute equality on all-points, and challenges criticism, both as regards the jimnber, the beauty and variety of its ■nictures, and the excellence Avith which they are reproduced. Let anyone disposed to disbelieve this assertion post to any friend in London or America any issue of the "Graphic" and ask for a, comparison with any named London or American illustrated magazine. The «>few Zealand Graphic" does not fear the answer.
