Messrs. Meiasner and Buch (Leipsic)—represented in this country by Messrs.

Schwenckert and W. G. Wallis, 112 Fleet Street—have sent us a box of their Fac-simile Water-Colour Cards. Messrs. Meissner and Bach are endeavouring to carry chrome-lithography to the highest perfection it admits of ; and some of these cards are extremely pretty, especially the snow-covered landscapes, and some of the flowers. Let us hope that the snow-covered landscapes will be less appropriate again this year to English men and women, than to those of Germany and the United States. Not the less, per- haps, will the reminder of what we have escaped, be welcome as Christmas and New Year's presents.
