Messrs. JAMES SUrTON s Co.
GeaHemem.-I am delighted with the proofs

fully successful representations by mechani-
cal process of the original paintings
Very respectfully,
THOs. MORAN.
These chromOs are in every sense Amcr-
can. They are by the original American
process, with material Of American manUIac-
tnre, from designs Of American scenery by
IN American painter, and presented to sub
scribcfs to the first successful American Art
journal. If no better because OF all this they
VIII certainly possess an interest 10 foreign
production can inspire and neither are they
any the worse If by reason Of peculiar facili-
ties Of production they cost the publishers
only a tIillc, while equal in every respect to
other Chromos that are sold smgly for double
the subscription price 0fiIiE ALDlNE. Per- |
sons OF taste will prize these pictures for
