The proprietors of the ' New Zealand Graph'V are early io the field with their Christmas annual, and we congratulate them alike on their enterprise and on having been the first to exploit wh»t we trust will prove a very remunerative field. The annual contains enough attractions within its pages to ensure ready sal >, but its specialty, in the shape of a colored supplement, a la the London • Illustrated Newp,' * Graphic,' and other high-class publication in the O'd Country, is sure to command general approval. The na»ive fbr* of this colony 19 the subject of the artist's Mudy, and the mannrr in which it has been handled rfl'Cts the utmost credit alike rn the pain'er and the lithographers who have so faithfully reproduced the striking features of his design. The plate, which meßsurcs 32 n by 24 n, will, we venture to predict, find an honored restingplace in the homes of New Z°.alanders now dwelling in distant dim?", for the gorgeous blooms of our indigenous fliwers, so artistically and truthfully depicted, cannot Ml to awaken tender memories of the land of their birth, or to which they or*- devotedly attached by reason of having f pent the best years of their lives in it.
