The Illustrations of The ALDINE
have won worldwide reputation, and
in the art centres of Europe il is an
admitted fact that its wood cuts are
examples of the highest perfection ev.

in favor Of ''steel plates" is rapidly
yielding to . more educated and dis
eliminating taste which recognises the
advantages Of superior artistic quality
with greater facility Of production;
The wood cuts Of The ALDlNE possess
all the delicscy and elaborate finish Of
the most costly steel plate, while the
they afford better rendering Of the

chased by Congress for ten thousand
dollars. The subject was chosed to

New Hampshire the other gives The
Cliffs Of Green River, Wyoming Terri
tory. The chromos are each worked
from thirty distinct plates, and are in
size (22 < 16) and appearance exact
fac-similes of the originals. The pres
entation of a worthy example Of Amer
ica's greatest landscape painter to the

bold bu. peculiarly happy idea, aud its
successful realization is attested by the
following testimonial, over the sigma
ture Of Mr.. Moran himself
