TO ARTISTS, AMATEURS, ETC. 



PERMANENT DRAWING CHALK in Cedar, in 

 various Colours. 



E. Woi.fp & Sov bep to apprise Artists & Amateurs that they 

 have. by the introduction of great improvements in their CRETA 

 l^EVIS, enabled it to be used the same as the ordinary pencil j 

 and effects can now be produced equal to water-colour drawings, 

 without the use of water or any other fluid, the various colours 

 blendinp together with perfect harmony, beauty, and richne^ 

 It can be cut to a fine point, and is thus capable of (firing a very 

 delicate outline. For sketching from nature, the great advanta;: 

 resulting from the adoption of the CRETA LyEVIS must he 

 obvious, as without the use of water, palette, brushes. &c, all the 

 various tints can be obtained with a truthfulness that cannot be 

 surpassed, thus superseding every other method in general use. 



Thedrawingsmaybe carried in a portfolio with safety, as. unlike 

 other crayons, Ihey will neither rub off, nor suffer injury by coming 

 in contact with the usual contents of a portfolio. 



The CRETA l.JEVIS will not be affected by heat or change of 

 climate; and, bv its compact form, may be carried any distance 

 without the sHghtrst inconvenience. 'Jo be had of all respectable 

 Stationers, and of the Manufacturers, at the following prices:— 



Leather box, containing a set of 12. . .. 7s. each.

In sets as above, without box, at t fi.v. per doz. 



Lake and Cobalt 125. — 



■%• Maybe had also in Crayons without cedar, in sets as above, 

 *t Cs. per dozen, box included. 



44 Creta Laris —We have inspected an invention of Messrs. 

 "Wolff & Son., Creta Loevis are permanent coloured Crayons, of 

 nearly every hue and tint, differing essentially from those in 

 general use. inasmuch as they do not cast off, and are clearer than 

 'Chalk, retaining at the same time much softness and delicacy. 

 IVc think they would be found useful to the sketcher, as they are 

 portable, not easily injured, and can be used upon white or tinted 

 paper. We can recommend them, especially to ladies, as we have 

 seldom seen more charming specimens of flower-drawing than 

 those produced by the Creta Lsevis: the blue, generally so coarse 

 in chalk, was singularly clear, and many of the landscapes and 

 heads submitted for our inspection proved that Mr. Wolff has 

 n&rie a valuable discovery. *'-» London Art Union. 



Instructions for Use.— To produce the delicate shades, the 

 chalk must be cut to a fine point, and worked very lightly on the 

 paper, blending the colours until the required tint be obtained. 

 The deep shades merely require a broader point and increased 

 pressure. — Bristol Board, Crayon paper, or, in fact, any papers 

 •with a fine even surface, not glazed, are well adapted for the 

 CRETA LEVIS; but tinted crayon papers are most suitable, as 

 they add to the finish of the drawing. 



Wolff & Son beg to recommend their newly-invented SKETCH- 

 ING PENCILS, or Permanent Black Chalk :— 



B B, Very black, for foreground ; H B, Middle tint ; N, Neutral 

 tint, for distance. Price 6.v. per dozen. 



These Pencils are peculiarly adapted for sketching heads and 

 landscapes, and are capable of producing a beautiful effect with 

 v*ry little labour. Having an adhesive quality, the drawings may 

 lye transmitted without fear of injury. 



4 f f Wolff & Sov are desirous of opening an Agency with re- 

 spectable Country Booksellers and Stationers for the sale of the 

 above. — Manufactory, 23, Church-street, Spitaltields, London.

BURBIDGE and HEALY'S COOKING APPA-

 Apparatus is believed to possess greater general advantages than 

 any yet submitted to the Public, both as regards strength of mate- 

 rial and workmanship; in fact, the laws of heat are so applied as 

 to produce the greatest effect with the least consumption of fuel, 

 without destruction to the Apparatus ; and B. & II. can safely re- 

 commtnd it, from experience, as unquestionably superior to 

 anything of the kind hitherto made. A Prospectus can be for-
