NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.


ART DEPARTMENT
The enthusiastic support SO readily accorded
totheir 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
ly support any sincere measure to alleviate the
tone and standard of illustrated publications.
That SO many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence that there is no market for
anything better--indeed 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 II 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, VICTOR NEHLIs,
GRANVILLE PERKINS, FRANK BEARD,
WM. HART, WIN. II. WILCOX,
F. o G. DARLEY, PAUL DIXON,
r. f. PIaUET, AUG. WILL, a..r
WIN. BEARD JAMES II. BEARD,
j. Hows, G-.s
These pictures are being reproduced without
regard to expense by the very best engravers in
the country, and will bear the seyerest critical
comparison with the best foreign WORK, il being
the determination of the publishers that THE
ALDINE shall DO a successful yindication OF
American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world. 800 30 lr sri

Where so much attention is paid to illustration
appearance may very naturally be feared. To
anticipate such misgivings it is only necessary
to state that the editorial management of THE
ALDINE has been intrusted to MIR. RICHARD
HENRY STODDARD, who has received assur-
ances of assistance from host of the most pop
ular writers and poets OF the country.
