whose plates have contributed so much to the
beauty of the Magazine heretofore, by which We
secure his splendid Mezzotints for this work alone.

ground. q. fca
OUR BEAUTIFUL FASHION PLATES.
These exquisite creations of taste and skill We
have engaged exclusively rom the publisher Of

failed An attempt has been made to deceive the
public, by re-engraving the old designs, but these
duplicates are far beneath the original Paris de-
signs sent to Graham, that they excite only con-

cannot be equalled IN the beauty and correctness
of this department of the Magazine. These plates
