Graha,,s's Elegant american EngraUings
The most elegant engravngs that have ever APP
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 are resolved that national tone shall be strict
" preserved in Graham" Hereafter we shall
place in the engravers' hands none but .fmerican
mixtures. Our own country abounds with the finest
scenery in the world. 1t is full of historical associ-
atoms, Of thrilling interest, and on every hand sub
jects start up, fit for the painters pencil and the
engravers 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 oar artists embrace Battle Grounds
Vie,rS IN the South and Uest-InGian Portraits and
Prairie Scenes-.ne==otinfS of Scripture and other
subjects Portraits Of our ContributorS-FiOcerSI
from Mature, 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 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 II then
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 a supply Of very choice
and elegant music for the harp and piano, which
