wv FEATURES FOR 1872.


The enthusiastic support readily accorded
to their enterprise wherever it has been intro
duced, has convinced the publishers of THE
ALDINE of the soundness of their theory that
the American public would recognize and hearth
ty support any sincere measure to alleviate the
tone and standard of illustrated publications.
That many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence that there is market for
anything better-ndeed the success of THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proof to the con
trary. With a population so vast, and of such
varied taste, a publisher can choose his patrons,
and his paper is 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 announce during the coming year,
specimens from the following eminent American
artists:
w T. RICHARDS, NIcToR NEHLIs,
GRANVILLE PERKINS, FRANK BEARD,
JAMES ID. SMILE, GEORGE H. SMILE,
WIN. HART, VIM III. WILCOX,
+, o @. DARLEY, PAUL DIXON,
r. E. PIGUET, AUG. WILL,
WIN. BEARD, JAMES III. BEARD,
J. H0ws,
These pictures are being reproduced without
regard to expense by the very best engravers in
the country, and will bear the severest critical
comparison with the best foreign work, it being
the determination of the publishers that THE
ALDINE shall be a successful yndication of
American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT

ances of assistance from host of the most pop
ular writer's and poets OF the country. ~
