THE MARRIAGE of R.R.R. the Prince of
Vi ALM and 11.11. H. the Princess ALIXA NDRA.
lems. DAY sad SON have the honour to announce that they
have received the gracious permission of her Majesty to produce
aml issue a PICTPILE in CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY of the MAR-
RIAGE of his Royal Sightless the Prince of WALE and bee
Royal Highness the Princess A LILTANDRA of Danmark In the
Chapel of St. George, Windsor ; to to misted by Mr. G. H. Thoreau
who Ma been honoured on manyecaidens with the Quesesesea.
mowdo—lor work. or -w iise order.. The Queen has omismaid
that all facilities be afforded Mr. Thomas in reference M lids
picture, which la to describe the most touching and intatertiag
part of the happy scene, whim, by Divine blessing, the 011•1141 mg
made "one," the Prince leads his wife from the altar. Mara Day
and sou, therefore, have the privilege to state that as soon se=
aibk, and certainly at • very early date after the ce
will publish a (mutats oopyof the picture, byMr.
of important slze, exerting to the utmost all the 'millennia
their art to render justice to a subject so deeply intercede( to
the British people. Messrs. Day and Son hope the may le pm,
mined to enlarge somewhat on this theme, with a view to show
how many and greet are the advantages tt supplies to the arta..
more especially with reference to the art of which they am
professors. The venerable chapel, consecrated by time and
associated ith memories of so ma British worthies, will form
a grand an d impressive background to the picture, with the
elaborate car wt. and numerous banners of darter Knights. The
guests at the ceremony will not only consist of the whole of the
Royal Family of I, ngland and the Majesty of Denmark—it will
Mao& the Peers, the principal Commoners, and the leading men
of these kingdoms, the men who tee dignity to the Senate, the
church, and the bar ; the chief oms of the array
the several members of the Royal Households. The Ambamadon
of all nations will be there, deemed In their state robes, assist-
ing largely the brilliancy of the display, where colour math be •
principal auxiliary to the pictured some, so ss rightly to describe
sad comprehend Especially will the ladles of the several
courts of Europe contribute to the grace and glory of the occa-
sion : and the artist will have one of the most delightful teaks
within the range of art—to picture the beauty of the English
anatocracy and that of so many other countries of the world.
Above all, the prominent part of inch a picture will be the
Prince and Princess—both in early youth, both with rsio Om-
sonal advantage* both such subjects as the artist would desire
ith paint, if found any class of life. It la seldom that a rub-
lent so admirably calculated for pictorial represeotation—con-
aidered in reference to Ite etyma wmessories—can be 'untied
to the art, or one that so imperatively demands an
adequate commemoration by art. It is much that the uni-
versal accord of a whole people goes with this auspicious evant
that the choice of the Prince and of the Royal Families of
England and of Denmark gives its proportionate degree of hap- •
to the whole realm; promising another bond of loving oaks
tis
between the (Man and the people—another link in the chats
that binds the millions of her- subjects to the Queen: consecrat-
ing anew the memory of " the flood Prinee,"whom tarmeing in-
telligence sanctioned the young affection of the Heir of Mogiaad,
asfrultfulof 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-hall, the va-
riety of State
immensebes, and orders that will be there abun-
dant, receiving value from the varied display of tniours
—is peculiarly calculated for display by the art of chromo-
lithography, which, far better than any other class of art, can
fully accurately, and worthily represent it. They therefore
pledge themselves that an event so auspicious, so suggestive of
Imminent In the present and of hope in the future, and so fall
of subject for commemoration by art, shall sum, materlah for
the greatest and best work in chronscali that Ms yet
been produced In England or in any country.
'Berms of PubUestion.—lt is intended to reproduce the picture
In positive fee simile, colour and detail alike to be faithfully re-
panted, so that the chromolithograph may take Its place almost
upon an equality among the most powerful, brilliant, or finished
pictures in any collection. The absolute necessity of colour
truthfully snit worthily to record the magnifloence of the cos-
tumes and decorations on the occasion will be apparent, while
the charm it will give to the work as a permanent object of dews
halm limnedsutable publication of the fac-sissile picture
