OUR SPLENDID STEEL ENGRA
WINGS
The unanimous voice Of the press has pro-
no,.nced Godey's engravings to be the best ever
pu blished in any magazine of the world, and
equal to those published in the ANIMALS of Great
Britain. You may look in vain for fifteen such
steel engravings as have been published in the
sixtieth and sixty-frst volumes of this Book, and
those for 1861 will equal if not surpass them
The design and execution of these plates have
elected general remark, not only in this country
but in England. Let it be observed also that we
give fifteen steel engravings, three more than any
contemporary. 1t is also a singular fact that no
other magazine goes to the expense of origina
designs for their steel engravngs.
