Pictorial Postcards. — We have received from Messrs. Raphael Tuck a set

of picture postcards. They include coloured por- traits of the King and Queen, souvenir postcards of the Duke of York's visit to Greater Britain, "rough-sea views"—why nocalm seas are depicted is not stated—and reproductions of noted pictures in British and foreign galleries. All the illustrations are very well produced, but especially the reproductions of famous pic- tures. Hobbema's "Avenue Middelharnis" is an admirable piece of work, as is also Holbein's " Two Ambassadors."
