THE ALDINE,
THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,
ISSUED MONTHLY.
The Aldine, while issued with all the regularity,
has none of the temporary or dmely interests char
acterlstc of ordinary periodicals. 1t is elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature
and collection of pictures, the rarest specimens OF
complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity OF
nne paper and engravlngs IN any other shape or
number Of volumes for ten times its cost and then
there is the chromo besides
While The Aldine is a strictly American institution
It does not conhne itself to the reproduction OF ma
tive art. In addition to the productions Of the most
noted American artists, attention Will always be
given to specimens from foreign masters giving
subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtana-
BILE from home or foreign sources.
The artistic Illustration of American scenery,
original with The Aldine. is an Important feature,
and its magnificent plates are of a size more ap-
proprate to the satisfactory treatment of details
than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judi
cious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure and
animal SUBJECTS sustalns IN unabated interest, i'm
possible where the scope of the work confines the
artist too closely to a single style or subject The
literature of The Aldine is light and graceful ao-
compartment, worthy of the artistic features, with
only such technical Gisquistons do not interfere
with the popular interest of the work.
