for America, and The Landing of
the Pilgrims IN america.
Each engraving 26 81 inches, price only 81 80
each by mall These constitute the finest pair
of companion engravings ever published In the
United States. They were engraved by the most
eminent steel plate engraver in this country John
G. McRae, of New York City, and for artistic
skill and high beauty we're never excelled. Mr..
McRae is great in whatever he attempts. but in
these gems he has outdone himself. He was de.
termined to render them enduring monuments of
his skill. and no pains or expense have been
spared to make them perfect works Of art, and
to far excel any similar works ever issued in this
country. They are the same size, and in every
respect euual to the elegant English engravings
of the same subjects, which cannot be bought In
this country for less than Sl2,5 so each copy.
We have undertaken gigantic enterprise, and
one in which we earnestly invite the cooperation
Of all lovers of the beautiful in art. We must
sell fifty thousand copies OF each of these mag
nificent tngrayings, and to accomplish this have
placed the price low enough TO bring them with
in the reach of every one. Will yoThelp us ?
And in SO doing confer a lifelong pleasure on
yourself Such great value In art for so little
money, was never before offered and nothing
short of very large sale will renumerate us.
such splendid Parlor Gems are usually published
at So or $40 zach, but we have determined to APP
peal to the public, to sustain us In our efforts to
bring them within the reach of every family in
the land. ht.t.4t tfia .t#t ti'eft
The great historical value of these pictures
their large size--their great elegance and beauty
will render them of incalculable value to every
home. All honor to the "Mayfower Puritans''--
the brave and true. .srN p
