PROMINENT NORTHERN COLONISTS.

PROMINENT NORTHERN COLONISTS.

ON the opposite page we reproduce, by courtesy of Mr Hanna, the large photographic shield which that sun artist has produced and chiistened Prominent Colonists. The severe reduction from its oiiginal giant proportions has, of course, bad a somewhat unfavourable effect, but, all things considered, the picture as it is is both interesting and valuable. There are faces we miss which certainly ought to have taken piecedence of several gentlemen who appear, and for whose appearance as prominent colonists one can offer no explanation save Mr Hanna’s good nature, or possibly his sense of humour. The Queen fitly occupies the centre of a large group of her subjects, though she is not a colonist. The original shield still occupies the attention of passers up and down Queen-street. It is certainly as fine a display of sun pictures as could be desired. Mr Hanna has our best thanks.
