WALES and H.R.H. the Princess ALEX A N DILA.
Ileum DAY and SON have the honour to announce that they
have received the gracious permission of her Majesty to produce
gad hens &PICTURE in CiIROMO-LITHOGRAPHY of the MAR-
MAGI of his Royal Hhness the nce WALE and her
Royal Highness the Princig ess ALLIANPriDRAof of Denmark in the
Chapel of St. George, Windsor ; lobe paint's! by Mr. O. 11. Thomas,
who has been I onoured on manyeecaelens with the Queen's com-
mends for works of a similar order.. The Queen bee commanded
that all facilities be afforded Mr. Thomas In reference to this
picture, which is to describe the most touching and interesting
par, of the happy scene, when; by Divine blessing, the two beteg
made -'W
nano ' the relate leads hie wife from the altar. Mmes. De,
and Son, therefore, here the privilege to state that as soon ad pos-
sible, and certainly at a my early date after the ceremony, they
will publish a facsimile copyof the picture, byilr. G. H.l homes,
of Important size, exerting to the utmost all the appliances of
their art io render Make to a subject go deeply interesting to
the British people. Messrs. Day and Son hope they may be per-
mitted to enlarge somewhat on this theme, with a view to show
bow many sod great are the advantages it supplies to the as het,
more especially with reference to the art of which they nr•
professors. The venerable chapel, consecrated by time and
associated with memories of so many British worthies, wilt town
a grand and impressive background to the picture, with Its
elaborate carvings and numerous banners of Garter nir;hts. The
grant, at the ceremony will not only consist of the wink of the
Royal Family of I'ngtand and the Majesty of Der:gee:P-6 will
Include the Peen" the principal Commoners, end Uri' leading men
of these kingdoms, the men who give dignity to the senate, the
church, sad the bar She chief oflleers of the tinny and navy ; and
the several members of the Royal Households. Tbe Ambagsailors
of all nationtiwill be there, deemed in their state robes, assist-
ing liarge4 tbe brilliancy of e desphy, where colour must be •
principal auxiliary to the pictthured scene, so as rightlytodestribe
and comprehend it. Eepecially will the ladies of the several
marts et Europe ceetribute to the grace and glory of the ores-
aim ; and the artist will have owe of the most deli -haul tasks
within the range of &O.—to picture the beauty the English
aristocracy and that of so many other countries of the world.
Jrboes all, the prominent part of such • picture will be the
Prince and Princess—both in early youth, both with ear e per-
sonal advantsgel, both such subjects so the artist would desire
10 paint, it found to any class of life. It is Beef= that • sub-
ject so admirably calculated for *Waal representation—con-
sidered In reference to its tercel accessories—can be supplied
to the sell- t, or one that so imperatively demands an
adequate commemoration by arts It is ranch that the ant-
venal mord of a whole people goes with this auspicious crest;
that the choice of the Prince and of the Royal Families of
Ragland and of Denmark gives its proportionate degree of hap-
piness to the whole realm: promising another bond of loving union
between the Crown and the people—another link In the chain
that binds the millions of her subjecta to the Queen; consecrat-
Ihar the memory of " the Good Prince,"whoee far-geeing in-
Selligenee sanctioned the yams' affection of the Heir of England,
astruittulot good to present and future generations. Messrs. Day
and Son are justified in believing that this deeply-interesting
and singularly " picturesque" ceremony—with reference to the
Impressive character of the place (St. George's-hail), the va-
riety of State dresses, robes, OSId orders that will be there abun-
dant, receiving imineme value from the varied display of colours
—is peculiarly calculated for display by the art of chromo-
lithography. which, far better than any oilier class of art, can
fully, accurately, and worthily represent it. They therefore
pledge themselves that an event so auspicious, so suggestive of
happiness in the prevent and of hope to the future, and so fail
of subject for commemoration by an, shall supply materials for
the greatest said best work in chrotno-lithography that has yet
been produced in England or in any country.
Terms of Pubic , cation.—lt is intended to reproduce the picture
In positive tat simile, colour and detail alike to be faithfully re- -
peated, so that the chromo-litbograpb may take its piece almost
upon an equality among the most powerful, brilliant, or ileished
pictures in any collection. The absolute necessity of colour
truthfully and worthily to record the magnificence of the owe
tomes and decorations on the occasion will be apparent, while
the charm it will give to the work as a permanent object of deco-
ration Is indisputable. The publication of the lac-ann. picture
will be limited to 1,000 zubecribers. It has been determined thus
to limit the number of copies to be printed and to destroy the
