ART UNION OF VICTORIA. – We have re-
ceived copies of the two presentation plates
of the Victoria Art Union for the season
They represent a view of Melbourne 
from near Richmond, and a sketch of a scene 
on the Lerderderg, drawn by Louis Buvelet 
and engraved by Samuel Calvert. The im-
pressions are not quite so clear in parts as 
they might be, otherwise they are artistic 
and highly creditable as colonial productions. 
The Society under whose auspices they are 
issued has for its aim the praiseworthy one 
of promoting a knowledge and love of the fine 
arts in Australia, and for endeavouring to 
effect so desirable an object it deserves en-
couragement.
