Nothing can be more suitable for a well-selected present than a genuine Work of Art in Marble or Bronze. In reading the lists of presents at most fashionable Marriages, one is struck by the quantity of Silver and Jewellery given, which in most cases is more than the recipients have any need of or use for. The majority of these presents suffer by comparison with others of the same kind given by those to whom money is no object whereas a charming little Statuette or Bust is sure to attract universal notice and admiration without danger of being duplicated. 9 inches high.
