SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the Departmental Of Engravings, it is very well
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition Of rival publish
ers seems thus far TO have been to maintain a re-
i 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
portant new features will be introduced. SGTtain
/ and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzoTINT ENGRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright g. Hatch, A. L.
/ Dick, g. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, of New York and Dodson, WEIGH & Wa
i tiers, Tucker, and others, Of philadelphia
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of the
present century, have been engaged TO furnish q
succession of highly finished steel engravings, SUI
perior to any that have hitherto appeared in peri
odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra-
we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, 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.
/ fisher Of GFaham's Magazine will be the FIRST tC
reform the practice, and to make bis work strictly
original in its Embellishments as well as in itl
literary contents.
