THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED AMERI
CAN ARTISTS employ their genius for our sub
scribers. The most elegant engravngs that have
ever appeared in America, have been given to the
public in Graham's Magazine. We are now pie
pared to give the right direction TO the talents Of
our artists, and are resolved that national tone
shall be strictly preserved in "Graham." Herea-
ter we shall place in the engravers' hands none but
|
with theGnest scenery in the world. 1t is full of
historical associations, OF thrilling interest, and on
every hand subjects start up, fit for the pointers
pencil and the engraver's burin. Every patriot.
ie sentiment urges the selection Of national subjects
for the pen and pencil, and we feel assured that the
American public will sustain the enterprise.

permanent engagement with the house OF Raw
