LEE AND SHEPARD'S ARTISTIC GIFT-BOOKS FOR THE SEASON 1890-1 A NEW VOLUME BY MARGARET MACDONALD PULLMAN SUMMERLAND With 63 original illustrations, engraved on wood by George T. Andrew, and printed under his direction. Size, 91⁄2 x 121⁄2 inches. Oblong quarto, artistic cover of two colored cloths, beautifully ornamented, full gilt. $3.75: turkey morocco, $9.00; tree calf, $10.00; English seal style, $7.00. These new illustrations by the talented artist of "Days Serene" remind one very forcibly of Birket Foster, there is such a calm, peaceful serenity about them, such as one finds in the English landscapes, and in them Mrs. Pullman demonstrates anew that she possesses not only talent of a high order, but a true conception of the beautiful in nature. "Summerland" breathes through all its pages, and each full-page illustration is ushered in by a gem from the artist's pencil, giving the title, each of which is a poem in itself. The cover, in two colors of cloth, is made from the author's design, and is very artistic. The high quality of Lee and Shepard's art-books, including paper, printing and binding, is maintained throughout the present work. Designed in sepiatint and color by J. Pauline Sunter. Printed on heavy cardboard, gilt edges, with chain, tassels and rings. Size, 44 x 5 inches. Boxed, 50 cents. The marvellous success which has attended the production of Messrs. Lee and Shepard's Calendars in previous years has led them to bring out an entirely new one for 1891, which far surpasses any yet issued in the designs and quality of workmanship. In addition to the calendar for each month each card contains a charming design and an appropriate sentiment, in delicate tints and colors. The designs are mostly of chubby children in various scenes, drawn in the picturesque style of the artist, and, altogether, it is the handsomest and most delicate calendar yet offered. The cards are tastily tied with white silk cord, and a chain attached by which they may be hung on the wall or elsewhere, and are so arranged on rings that they may be turned over like the leaves of a book as each month shall be needed for reference. MISS JEROME'S LATEST WORK AN OLD LOVE-LETTER Designed and illuminated by IRENE E. JEROME, author of "One Year's Sketch-Book," "Nature's Hallelujah," "In a Fair Country," ""A Bunch of Violets," "The Message of the Bluebird," etc. Antique covers, tied with silk. Boxed, $1.00. Miss Jerome, in this the sixth book of her matchless art works, has entered a new realm of illustrative art, and has given us not only a novel but a beautiful combination of text and delicate illumination, in which artistic talent and tender religious sentiment are tastefully blended. Each page of this chaste volume contains an apt quotation from the New Testament, in which the spirit of Divine love shines forth. These loving words are set in ornamental lettering, surrounded on each page by an original design illuminated in the old missal style of colors and gold, printed in fac-simile of Miss Jerome's original drawings, producing a brilliant effect, the whole forming a delicate and exquisite love-letter. The covers, with appropriate designs, are printed on rich, antique paper, tied with silk floss, which is secured to the cover by a seal.
