Graham'S Elegant american EngraUingS
The most elegant engravngs that have ever ap-
peared in America have been given to the public in
Graham's Magazine. We are now prepared to
give the right direction to the talents of our artists
and resolved that national tone shall be strict
ly preserved in Graham" Hereafter we shall
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 every hand sub
jects 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
Tieacs in the South and West-Endian Portraits and
Prairie SceneS-.Ne=zotints of Scripture and other
Of our Cont,ibutors-Flo,cers
from Nature, and all the varieties of elegant illus
tration that art or taste can devise.
The Paris Fashions in Elegant Style.
We have made arrangements with celebrated
Paris house, by which we shall be enabled to excel
all others in the elegance, finish and correctness of
our fashions. We expect to have all the first out
in time for the July number, and shall leave it then
to the taste of the American people to say, whether
any thing so superb has ever been issued here.
Original Music for Piano and Harp.
We have made arrangements with several must
cal ladies and gentlemen, for supply of very choice
and elegant music for the harp and piano, which
