ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won world
wide reputation and in the art centres of Europe it is
admitted fact that its wood cuts are examples of the
highest perfection ever attained. The common preju-
dice in favor of steel plates, is rapidly yielding to
more educated and discriminating taste, which recog
nzes the advantages of superior artistic quality with
greater facility of production. The wood cuts of THE
ALDINE possess all the delcacy and elaborate finish
of the most costly steel plate while they afford better
rendering of the artists original.
To fully realise the wonderful work which THE Al
DIN is doing for the OF art culture in America
1t is only necessary to consider the cost to the people
of other decent 9f the pTednct9es

al Academy, and other noted American artists, TIL
ALDINE will reproduce examples of the best foreign
masters selected with view to the highest artistic
success and greatest general interest Thus the sub

joy in his home the PLEASURES and refining nduen-
ces of true art.
