TUCK’S ART SERVICE.

The parcel of Christina* novelties which we have received from the London publishing house of Raphael Tuck and Sane, Limited, this year celebrating its diamond jubilee, serves to show that the remarkable standard of artistic excellence that has been attained by this firm with its productions in the past is being fully maintained. It would be impossible to accord any higher praise than this to the examples of the firm’s work that have been submitted to us. Whether it be in the matter of Christmas cards and postcards or of calendars, or of toy books, or of books for chi'dren, who have reached the stage of boyhood and girlhood, or of delicate paper table ware, the Raphael Tuck art service is deservedly acknowledged throughout the Empire as supplying the last word in production* of the kind. There seem to be no worlds in the sphere of artistic production that the firm has not captured. It must, therefore, be with a sense of perplexity that its designers, having completed their work for one year, turn to the task of providing novelties, which shall truly be novelties, for the next year. Yet somehow they succeed in accomplishing what micht be supposed to be unaccomplishable.
