B.P. Magazine and Its Beautiful

Pictures

A NEW standard of photographic excellence is attained in the December issue of the B.P.

Magazine which is just to hand. This at tractive high-class quarterly has now been in existence for five years and it is a credit alike to the publishers and to Australian typography.

Every issue introduces something new and pleas ing; and in that under notice there is a very generous collection of articles, story and travel sketches —all conforming to a high literary and editorial standard.

It is, however, in the reproduction of scenic photographs that the B.P. Magazine is notable —there is, in fact, nothing now in Australia to compare with it. In the issue under notice there is a particularly fine series of photographs of scenery and native life in New Guinea and Papua, and another series illustrating the charms of a holiday on the north Queensland coast.

In the beginning the B.P. Magazine had a general appeal. It retains that appeal—extends it, in fact —but the editors seem how to spec ialise in travel material. No one, even the least imaginative among us, could look through this delightful collection of travel stories and exotic pictures without feeling the urge to climb aboard the first outgoing steamer and make personal acquaintance with shining seas and smiling natives.
