These chromOs are in every sense
American. They are by an original
American process, with material of
American manufacture, from designs
of American scenery by an American
painter, and presented to subscribers To-
the first successful American Art
Journal. If no better because of all
this, they will certainly possess an
interest no foreign production can
inspire and neither are they any the
worse If by reason of peculiar facilities
Of production they cost the publishers
only a trifle, while equal in every
respect to other chrOmOs that are sold
singly for double the subscription price
of THE ALDINE. Persons of taste will
prize these pictures for themselves-nOt
for the price they did or did not cost,
and will appreciate the enterprise that
renders their distribution possible.
