The task of bringing out an illustrated paper in the colonies is at no time an easy one, but it would be well nigh insuperable were it not for the courtesy of photographers all over New Zealand, who send us specimens of their skill in landscape, portraiture, and group taking. From Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wanganui, we have received kindness at tl.e hands of eminent photographers. Our views this week of the bnshfellers' home are from photos by Morton of Auckland. t lur Parliamentary silhouettes are by Wrigglesworth and Hinns, and the others by the Graphic special photographer.
