Graham's Elegant american Engrarings.
The most elegant engravings that have ever APP
peared in America have been given to the public in
Graham's Magazine. We prepared to
give the right direction to the talents of artists

place in the engravers hands none but american
pictures. Our own country abounds with the finest
scenery in the world. 1t is full of historical assoc
atoms, of thrilling interest, and on every hand sub
ects start up fit for the painters pencil and the
engraver's burn Every patriotic sentiment urges
the selection of national subjects for the pen and
pencil, and we feel assured that the American pub
lie will sustain the enterprise The subjects now
in the hands of our artists embrace Battle Grounds
VielcS in the South and WeSt-hldian Portraits and
Prairie Scenes-.Ne=7otints of Scripture and other
subccts-PortratS Of oar ContributOrs-FEo,cerS
from Nature, and all the varieties of elegant illus
tration that art or taste can devise.

to the taste of the American people TO say whether
any thing SO superb has ever been issued here.
