ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
Tho illustrations o1 the ALDlNE have
won q worldwide reputation. and in the
art centres of Europe it is an admitted fact
that Its wood cuts are examples Of the
highest perfection ever attained. The
common prejudice in favor of steel plates
is rapidly yielding to more educated and
discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages and superior artistic quality
with greater facility Of production. The
woNt-cuts of the ALDlNE possess all tho
delitacy and elaborate finish of the most
costly steel plate, while they afford bet
tor rendering of the artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work
which the Aldine il doing for the cause of
art culture in America, It is only neces.
sary TO consider the cost to the people of
any other decent representations Of the
productions Of great painters.
In addition to designs by the members
Of the National Academy and other noted
American artists, the Aldine will repro
luce examples Of tho best foreign masters,
selected with view to the highest artis-
tic success and GREATEST general interest.
Thus the snbscriber TO tho Aldine will, at
q triaing cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences Of true
art. q, 40, ..,js,. 49,, -.,...,..,...s..
