The garish highly-exaggerated pictures of twenty and thirty years ago, have now given way to artistic oilettes reproduced from the leading art galleries of the world, or those etchings which by a .skilled combination of light and shade, form an unt'orgetable impression on the mind. Pictures of these classes can now be seen at Eastwood's Book Store, where, owing to impending stock-taking, they are on sale at half price. Amongst the pictures are Somerscales' delightful sea. study, "Off Valparaiso," from the original painting in the Tate Gallery, London, marked down to 3/-, the well-known oilgraph "Dawn" at 4/-, and a number of glamorous garden scenes in heavenly blue at 4/-.
