The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1873-12-20

The two chromos presented to sub
scribers of THE ALDINE for 1874
are such beautiful and unusual works
Of art-faithful copies of actual paint
ings in oil made by the celebrated ar
fist, Thomas Moran, from studies of
nature-that we feel justified in call
ing special attention to them. These
chromos represent scenes characters
tic Of the East and the West; the
White Mountains of New Hampshire,
and the Cliffs Of Green river in Wy
oming Territory. In all the range of
grand and beautiful American scene
ry, it would be difficult to find two
more picturesque or charming views,
unlike as nature in her varying moods,
yet appropriate companion pieces.
The view in the White Mountains
gives the beholder grand and sub
lime scene of the most famous region
in New England, picture which is
filed with the very spirit of the re-
gion. The subject is treated with
much breadth and feeling. without an
overcrowding Of peaks and cliffs which
so often spoil the artistic effect. The
top of the principal mountain is sur
rounded by clouds of magical beauty,
which add life to the scene, indicating,
as they do, action. The picture is one
Of the elements-earth, air water
thrown together by the hand of the
great artist Such picture is always
fresh. and never grows dull. The
dashing brook, the rich group of au-
tumn clothed trees, the deep-down,
faraway meadows. the stream rushing
down the mountains side, the crags
and rocks, the hint of cloud mysteries,
and innumerable mountains beyond,
all of which the artist gives us in this
picture, make it the most notable and
really artistic chrome ever offered to
the American public.
In pleasing contrast with the blue
clouds and cool heights of the White
Mountains, we have in the Cliffs of
Green river golden, sun bathed land
scape, with sky full of glory--a
breaking away CT the clouds to let the
King of Day through! The physical
geography of the Great West is very
peculiar, and this Mr.. Moran has faith
fully reproduced. A grand red sand
stone rock, or butte, rejecting all the
brilliant hues of the sky, which are
also reproduced in the water. The
picture is exceeding brilliant, but
none too much so for the heart of the
Great American Desert, where this
scene is laid. The foreground of this
picture is very rich, and the study of
trees is delicate and natural. One
may carefully examine the whole list
of chromos offered to the public, and
fail to find elsewhere so much real ar
tlstic excellence as in these two rep
resentative landscapes. They are
every way worthy of the great art
Journal of America-THE ALDINE.
These chromos are SO fine, they can
only be compared with the highest
priced pictures offered in the market.
1t would be an injustice to place them
by the side of any of the cheap prints
commonly sent out by newspapers as
premiums to their subscribers.

The illustrations of The Aldine have won
q Worldwide reputation, and in the arr
centres of Europe it is an admitted fact that
ITS wood cuts are examples OF the highest

 Come to San Antonio, Texas; there you can find teams going between that place and Franklin, Texas, where you may have to wait a short while for teams to Tucson, via Apache Pass, and thence your route would be down the Gila river to its junction with the Colorado, at which point Yu- ma is located, near the line ofold Mexico. There is more or less danger from Comanche and Lipan Indians and depredating Mexi. cans, in Texas, but in New Mex ico and Arizona, the risk is not so great, for the Apaches are at pres ent quiet in the main, and on re- servations.
