ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations ofTIIE ALDINE have wol
| n worldwide reputation, and in the centres
of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples of the highest perfection
ever attained. The cannon prejudice in ia
vOr of "steel plates" Is rapidly yielding to
more educated and discriminating taste whicl
| recognizes the advantages of superior artist,
quality with greater facility Of production
The wyod-cuts of TILE ALDlNE possess al
the dciicacy and elaborate finish Of the mos
costly steel plate, while they afford q better
rendering of the artists original,
l0 fully realized the wonderful work which
THE ALplNE is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary tC
consider the cost to the people of any other de.
cent representations of the productions OF
| great painters.
IN addition to designs by the members OF
can artists, I'll E ALDINE will reproduce ex-
amplcs of the best foreign masters, selected
with view to the highest artistic success and
greatest general interest. Thus the subscri.
bers to THE ALDlNE will, at tri1ing cost
enjoy in his own home the pleasures and re.
| ilning influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will bC

our best artists, and will surpass in attrac'

Premium for 1874.
Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for Tho
year 1874 will receive u pair of chrOmos. ThC
original pictures were painted in oil for tho
publishers of THE ALDINE, by Thomas Mo.
ran, whose great Colorado picture was pun.
chased by Congress for ten thousand dollars
The subjects were chosen to represent "rhC
East" and 'Thc West" One is view in tho
White Mountains, New Hampshire; the Other
gives the Cliffs Of Green River, Wyoming Ter
ritory. The difference in the nature of thI
scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast, an(
affords good display of the artists sOOp,
from thirty distinct plates, and are in siz,
az lg) and appearance exact fac-siniies o.
the originals. The presentation of u worthy
example of Americas greatest Landscape
painter to the subscribers of THE ALDINf
WAS bold but peculiarly happy idea, ant
its successful realization is attested by the
following testimonial, over the signature ol
Mr.. Moran himself.
