ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations OF the ALDiNE have
won a worldwide reputation. and in the
art centres Of Europe it is AN admitted fact
that its wood cuts arc examples Of the
highest perfection ever attained. The
common prejudice in favor of steel plates
is rapidly yielding to moro educated and
discriminating taste which recognizes tho
advantages and superior artistic quality
with greater facility Of production. The
wood cnts Of the ALDINE possess all the
delicacy and elaborate finish Of tho most
costly steel plate, while they afford bet
ter rendering Of the artists original.
To fully realize tho wonderful work
which the Aldinc is doing for the cause of
art culture in America, it is only neces-
sary 70 consider tho cost to the people of
any other decent representations Of tho
productions of great painters.
In addition to designs by the members
Of the National Academy and other noted
American artists, the Aldine will repro
dnce examples of the best foreign masters,
selected with view to the highest artis.
tic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to tho Aldine will, at
IL tritling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences Of true
art. l. - > I'd,
