PICTORIAL POSTAL CARDS.
We have-received some very excellent copyright Pictorial postal cards, designed and published in Perth by Daisy M. Bates. The illustrations are representative of aboriginal scenes and people, one an artistic picture of a Beagle-Bay woman and her child—a dusky Venus and Adonis in fact. Another depicts an old cannibal Diogenes reflecting in front of his rude bush “tub.” An animated picture is found in “Natives preparing for battle,” and yet a fourth scene introduces us to a camp at Beagle Bay. These pictorial post cards and some other photographs taken by Daisy M. Bates have been sent in an album to the Princess of Wales. The printing work has been done by Messrs Sauds and McDougall, and is, indeed, very creditable.
