GRAHAM'S LADY'S Il GENTLEMAN'S
MAGAZINE,
FOR lS4i

h"s iopB enjoyed the eDSl1Die reputation or be-
my the best periodical in the United States
both in quality end number of embelli 81 ments
and in the tone Of its literary matter 1t is the
cheapest well the best. For the year 1913
The Publisher has ven about 100 pages more
original reading matter than any Of his cotem-
poraries, and more original Engravings, in ad-
dition to the fashion plates and caloured flowers.
The cheapness and merit of d three-dollar maya
zine over all others, apparent, which
has made an outlay Of over seven thousand dol
lars greater than others, and an addition Of en-
cravings over other magazines that would en-
besh the sliest Annual. The publisher is
however satisfied that nothing but real excel
lence can maintain the high position his perod
cal has attaiued in the United States, and, as tn
taste impr yves and extends for good works, the
nothing of a humbug order will be tolerated
The publisher does not hesitate 10 say that
deies all competition with Grahams Magaz
for 1874. His immense subscription list,
merit and number Of his contri butors, the
order of the engravers engaged, the humble
variety of elegant plates already purchased and
on hand, and the immense facility which his
cspital and position give him to prosecute the
work, render any efforts at rivalry matter of
ridicule Every number Of the 4ork issued
bears with it the evidence of Its triumphant sue
cess and establishes the impossbity of SUCCESS
ful competition.
livery number ofGrahams Magazine Is issued
al cost of nearly si0oo-the plates alone cost
nearly half the sum. Most of tie plates are from
FROM ORiGLE.iL P,3khTL> GS,
Executed expressly for the proprietor, for en-
cravings for the Magazine. Among the pictures
painted for the volume fol 1874, are two by
Sully, the great artist, several by Leutze, Chap
man, lnman, Conarroe, Rothermol, Thompson.
and others of the hest artists of America. The
cost of getting mp embellishments in this style,
may be estimated when we state that some of
these pictures cost $500 piece, and will cost US
some of them three times that sum to have them
engraved and worked off for the edition of''Gra-
ham " But no cost shall be spared to keep our
proud position Sat the head Of the periodical; Of
the world"

GR.9HAMS ELEGANT E.NBELLISH-
,MtNTS.
The most splendid engravings of all sorts lend |
their charm to the pages Of Graham's Magazine. |
Every thing in the way Of novelty and beauty
that has ever been invented is laid under contri- |
button Nothing that capital and taste can sup
ply Is omitted. First, rs the most elegant and
appropriate, as well as the most popular embel-
lshment, we place
S.4REqLh'S BRILLIANT MEZZoYLs'T
ENGR.lVLNG.
We were the first to introduce this beautifn!
style OF work, a regular establishment of the
popular monthlies. Its wide spread reputation |
through the means OF our ample list, called forth
host OF lmitators, but up TO this time nothing |
has been produced to rival the glorious pictures |
given in "Granim, The Shepherds Love, /"
and "The Coquette," These with host of 9TH |
ers, done for us by Mr.. Sartan, stand "unpre-
cedented and alone" at the head of American
engraving. We have several ofthese min table
plates under way, and shall give one in the
January number
HIGHLY Punished STEEL E.NGRaV-
LNGS
The series ofeegant steel engravings from the !
buren, of Rawden, Wright, Hatch & Smillio,
Jackman, Welch s. Walter, and others, which
have graced Graham's Magazine, have never
been surpassed in the country, and some of them,
Of which we may designate '"Ihe Fountain -
1.-The Captives,' and the '.Signal," have never
been exec lied in Europe. The exquisite line,
and line and stIppe, engrayinss will be followed
by series now Oh hand for 1914, of most mag
niticent subjects. Ono or more will appear in
January
CH.3RCO.4L SKETCHES-ETCHLNG
ON STEEL.
These engravngs will, for the most part, illus- |
trate the popular stories of Joseph G. Neal, |
author of "CHAKcoAL SKETCHES" and will be
finished for us in YEAGER's inimitable style. |
Mr. N EAL ranks as the hest humorist in Amer
lea, and has long been known as "Amercan
Boz" His humorous talents are howe or ola |
higher order than any yet displayed by Dickens,
and we feel sure that his articles will be hailed
with delight by his countrymen. 1t is time that
the American people awoke to a sense of what
10 due to men OF real genius among themselves.
IN opposition to the late fawning upon foreign
libeliers and we are determined tina: Graham's
Magazine shall lead in the holy undertaking, and
by the employment ofthe highest talent al lber-
al prices, TO foster native talent and to give en- |
enlargement to national literature These
sketches will no doubt be highly popular.
