The Metrostyle Pianola. "The highest result obtainable." Extract from Official Letter from the Berlin Royal Academy of Music. FOR the first time in the history of music musicianly renditions are ensured for everyone. The achievement of the Metro-style Pianola means placing the interpretations of many of the most famous composers and pianists on permanent record, in such a form that with this instrument, you, in your own home, can play as they have played; not repeat the virtuoso's rendition mechanically, but play with all the light and shade that characterises intelligent interpretation. The purchase of a Metrostyle Pianola brings to you the mastery over practically all that there is of music, and as an acquisition to the home furthers the taste for music by the best of all methods, actually playing it, as opposed to merely listening to the performance of others. You are invited to call. Write for Catalogue R. The Orchestrelle Co., ÆOLIAN HALL, 135-6-7, NEW BOND STREET, LONDON, W.

MORNING POST: "The Studio has attained a well-deserved reputation for its special numbers, but none of them has exceeded in interest the latest, which treats of Daumier and Gavarni. The illustrations are many and representative, and they are also well reproduced. It is an astonishingly cheap volume." WESTMINSTER GAZETTE: "With those who know them the wonderful lithographs of Daumier and the brilliant designs by Gavarni are among the most unforgettable things in art. They haunt one with irresistible insistence." DAILY NEWS: "The special numbers of The Studio have made a secure place for themselves with lovers of art. . . . As usual in these numbers, the illustrations are abundant and excellent." PUNCH: "An exceptionally perfect work. . . . The Baron recommends all lovers of art, and all interested in the history of caricature, to procure at its very moderate price of five shillings this most interesting and valuable special number of The Studio." LITERARY WORLD: "Singularly interesting. The drawings are reproduced with the high excellence that marks everything of the kind for which The Studio is responsible." SCOTSMAN: "The chief attraction of the volume is the splendid collection of reproductions."

Have you a copy of Edwards' Instruction Book on Photography? Although issued as a Price List, it contains more useful information to the practical photographer than almost any handbook issued, and as a reference book to be kept in the Developing Room its value cannot be over-estimated. The concise, clear, and complete instructions contained on ISOCHROMATIC PLATES, FILM SCROLLS (Roll Films), AND FLAT FILMS are no doubt largely responsible for their enormously increased popularity during the past season, and it is evident that photographers generally have recognised the fact that by their use there is nothing to be lost, but much to be gained.
