Press, Volume XVII, Issue 2344, 29 October 1870, Page 3Alpine Scenery. — Messrs Grand and Dunlop, Colombo street, have recently returned to Christchurch after spending three weeks among tho Southern Alps, photographing tho more attractive bits of scenery among the gorges of the rivers, the hills and glaciers. In all, about thirty pictures of the ordinary kind wore taken, besides a number, of stereoscopic views, and as fine weather was experienced, tho photographs, in almost every case, are exceedingly fine. They are all of large size, and the varied features of the Alps are brought out, with a distinctness which could scarcely be excelled. A number of the views have been printed off, and will shortly be ready for inspection. While on the subject it should be said that Mr T, S. Cousins, who formed one of the party, made a large number of sketches for water-colour drawings.

Normal School — A splendid photograph of this building has been taken by Messrs Grand and Dunlop. The sharpness of the outlines and general clearness of the photograph, down to the minutest detail, are exceptionally good.

Fine Arts. — Messrs Grand and Dunlop, who have just returned from a photographic tour, are preparing for publication a series of twelve views of the Otira Gorge. The pictures, which measure l0in x 8in, are being placed on Indian mounts, and will form a valuable addition to the portfolio. Upon the whole, the views have been well chosen, and in point of execution they leave little to be desired. So far as can ever be effected by photographs, the grandeur of the scenery is faithfully represented, and the artists have wisely adopted the plan of introducing occasional figures, so that some idea of scale may be afforded. A few of the series are worthy of special mention, and this is particularly the case with one looking down the Gorge. It is artistically chosen, with fine effects of light and shade, and with the immense distance clearly expressed. The pictures are being printed in the beautiful and deservedly popular Sepia tint, and it may safely be predicted that they will be largely circulated.

Grand and Dunlop raised £29 15s for the Indian Famine Relief Fund.
Monumental Marble.— Mr J. Butterfield, of Cambridge terrace, has recently imported a large quantity of the white Italian marble. Many of the slabs are six feet long by two and a half feet broad, with an average thickness of six inches, and in all the specimens the marble is of a very fine quality. This is at once apparent on examining some of the slabs which have been worked and polished, the characteristic blueish grey veining having a beautiful effect. The consignment was received direct from Italy, and probably includes the best examples of this kind of marble ever seen in Christchurch. An excellent photograph of a large group of the finished monumental slabs has been obtained by Messrs Grand and Dunlop.
