The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 10, Issue 10 (January 1, 1936)

[section]

Until recently colour reproduction in the magazine field in this country was somewhat crude and unsatisfactory. Lately we have realised that there are block makers and printers in New Zealand who can produce in coloured illustrations results that compare more than favourably with the finished production in other parts of the world. This development has been most apparent in “The Mirror,” where the artistic four colour cover designs have aroused much favourable comment. The December issue of the “New Zealand Railways Magazine” appeared for the first time in a four-colour cover. Apart from the strong appeal to the reader, this development in colour block work provides an opportunity for enterprising advertisers. Four colour advertisements attractively designed and reproduced, have a tremendous pull over ordinary advertisements in black and white. This new development in the general pictorial and advertising fields in this country will be watched with interest.

A gracious acknowledgment of the tribute that many admirers paid to Miss Jessie Mackay just over a year ago, comes in her “Vigil and Other Poems,” a booklet recently published by Whitcombe & Tombs Ltd. The book is dedicated to these friends of Miss Mackay's, and when they have read the precious poems it contains, they must feel that a further debt of gratitude is due to the Lady of Cashmere Hills. Jessie Mackay has a place in the hearts of every lover of poetry in these islands, also in the big continent across the Tasman. One at least in Australia, Mary Gilmore, will thrill with pride over the beautiful poem dedicated to her in this booklet. In the twenty or so poems included, are melodies to charm the souls of people of many minds and moods—all in the flawless harmony so characteristic of the singer.
