SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS
In the department Of Engravings, Il is very we'll
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition Of rival publish
eTs seems thus far 10 have been to maintain a re-
spectacle imitation of the numerous costly and
beautiful works OF art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. In
the course of the succeeding volumes many inn
f1av exryilf hoi nfro
and Sadd, the most celebrated MEzzoTIET ENeRA-
vERS IN the Union, and equals Of the best in En-
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and RawdoB, Wright & Hatch, Al. L.
Dick, g. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, Of New York; and Dodson, Weleh e Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Phladelphia,-alI
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAVERs Of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish a
succession of highly finished steel engravnQs, su-
perlor to any that have hitherto appeared ID peri
odlcais Among the pictures that will be engra-
we'd for the volume IN 843, are several ORIGINAL,
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, human, Cole, Thomp-
son, freeman, Franquinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals. have hitherto
contained, save in very few instances, only en-
cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
Usher Of Graham's Magazine will be the first TO
teform the practice, and 10 make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in it's
literary contents.
