The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
dured, has convinced the publishers Of TIE
ALDiNE of the soundness OF their theory that
| the American puhllc won uTetOgulLP ana heartily
supper: any sincere effort to ec'ate the tone and
standard of illustrated publications.. That
many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive IA
not evidence that there IL no market tor anything
| better-Indeed the success Of THE ALDlNE from
| the start Is direct proof Of the contrary. With
| population so vast. and Of such varied taste, a
publisher can choose his patrons, and his paperis
rather indicative Of his own than OF The taste OF
the country. As guarantee of the excellence OF
this department, the publishers would beg to an
nounce during the coming year, specimens from
the following eminent American Artists;
w. I. RICHARDS, GRANVILLE PERKINS,
WM. HART, +. q. Z. BARLEY,
WN. BEARD, VICTOR NEHLiG,
GnoReE SMILEY, WV. II. WILCOX.

These pictures being reproduced without
regard to ex pense by the very best engravera in
the country, and will bear the severest critical
comparison with the best iore,g1 work ~ sTeuIng
ALDINE shall be successful indication OF
American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world.
