[Early in the present year two sisters, living in a little house in Arthur Street, Ellerslie, Auckland, found in a neglected corner of their sittingToom a set of water-colour paintings, the work of the now famous English artist, William Blake. The pictures so discovered were considered at the time in certain quarters to be worth anything from £12,000 to £15,000. but this estimate has apparently been proved to be too high.]
