ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The Illustrations of The ALD1NE
have won worldwide reputation, aud
in the art centres Of Europe il is an
admitted fact chat its wood cuts are
examples Of the highest perfection ev.
er attained, The common prejudice
in favor Of ''steel plates" is rapidly
yielding to more educated and dis
eliminating taste which recognizes the
advantages Of superior artistic quality
with greater facility of production;
The wood cuts of The ALDiNE possess
all the delicscy and elaborate finish Of
the most costly steel plate, while the
they afford better rendering of the
artists original,
The quarterly tinted, plate for 1874,
will be by Thomas Moran and J. d.
Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will
contain special designs appropriate to
the season, by our best artis,s, and will
surpass in attractions any OF its prede-
cessOrs.

from thirty distinct plates, and are in
size (22 16) and appearance exact

bold but peculiarly happy idea, and its
successful realization is attested by the
following testimonial, over the sigma
