ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations Of The Aldine have won
world wide reputation and in the art centres
of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood
cnts are examples of the highest perfection
ever attained The common prejudice in favor
Of "steel plates" is rapidly yielding to more
educated and discriminating taste which recog-
nizes the advantages of superior artistic quality
with greater facility OF production. The wood
cuts Of the The Aldine possess all the deicacy
and elaborate finish of the most costly steel
plate, while they afford better rendering OF
the artists original.
TO fully realize the wonderful work which
The Alline is doing for the cause OF art cnlture
In America, it is only necessary to consider the
cost to the people of any other decent represen-
tations of the productions Of great painters.
| In addition to designs by the members OF the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, The Aldne will reproduce examples OF
the best foreign masters, selected with view
to the highest artistic success and greatest gen
/ eral interest. Thus the subscriber 10 The Al
dine will. at trihing cost enjoy in his home
| the pleasures and refining influences oftrue art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be
by Thos. Moran and j, ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, aud will surpass in attractions
any Of its predecessors.

tinct plates, and are in size az x l6) and APP
pearance exact fac-similes Of the originals -

liarly happy idea, and its successful realization
is attested by the following testimonial over
