to Justify the ready confidence thus demonstrated,
have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop
and improve the work and the plans of the com
ing year, MS unfolded by the monthly issues, will
astonsh and delight even the most sanguine
friends of Tie Aidiae.
The publishers are authorized to announce de-
signs from many of the most eminent artists of
America.
In addition THE Aldne will reproduce ex-
amples of the best foreign masters selected with
view to the highest artistic success, and great
est general interest avoiding such rs have be-
come familiar, through photographs, or copies
of any kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873, will re-
produce four of John s. Davis inmitabe child
sketches, appropriate to the four seasons. These
plates, appearing in the issues for January, April
July, and October would be alone worth the

PREMIUM CHROMOS
FOR 1873.

Every subscriber to he AiRine, who pays
in advance for the year 1873, will receive, with
ont charge, pair of beautiful oil chromos, after
J. j. Hill, the eminent English painter. The
pictures, entitled The Village Belle" and
Crossing the Moor" are II 20 inches--are
printed from 25 different plates, requiring 20 inn
pressions and tints to perfect each picture. The
same chromos are sold for $50 per pair, in the
art stores. As it is the determination of its
ductors to keep The Aldine out of the reach of
competition in every department, the chromos
will be found correspondingly ahead of any that
can be offered by other periodicals. Every sub
soriber will receive Il certificate over the gnatrre
of the publishers guaranteeing that the chromos
delivered shall be equal to the samples furnished
the agent, or the money will be refunded. The
distribution of pictures of this grade, free to the
subscribers to five dollar PERIODICAL will mark
an epoch in the history of Art; and, considering
the unprecedented cheapness of the price for
The Aidine itself, the marvel falls little short of
miracle even to those best acquainted with the
achievements of inventive genius and improved
mechanical appliances (For illustrations OF
these chromos, see November issue of The
ALdine.)
