The Companion calendar.

1t is said that the expense of making
the Companion Art Calendar for 1891
was so great that had IL been published
in the usual quantity it could not be
sold for less than one dollar. -Four
beautiful female figures are reproduced
on four folding pages. Each figure is
Autographed in twelve colors, being
a true reproduction of the original
water color painting, which was Sc
lected because of its excellence of de-
sign and charm of color and tone. The
size of each of the four folding pages
is 10A by 6 inches.
1t is BY far the best piece of color
work the Companion has ever offered.
Both as n calendar and as q gem of the
photographers art, it is 80 attractive
that 1t becomes a valuable addition to
the mnntel or centre table of any room.
