THE ALDINE,
THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA.

icrUs FOR 1si5-EIoHTn YEAR.


The Aidne, while issued with all the regularity,
has none of the temporary timely interests char
acterlStic OF ordinary periodicals. 1t Is an elegant
mlscel any Of pure, light and graceful literature |;
and collection OF pictures, the rarest specimens Of
artistic SKILL in black and white. The possessor Of
complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity OF
fine paper aud engrayings In any other shape or
number of volumes for ten times its cost and then
there Is the chrome, besides
While The Aldine is q strictly American institution
II does not confne Itself TO the reproduction of
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 obana-
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-
propriate TO the satisfactory treatment of details
than can be Afforded by any inferior page. The Judi
cious nterspersion OF landscape, marine, figure and
animal SUBJECTS sustains unabated interest, im-
possible where the scope of the work confines the
artist too closely to single style OF subject. The
literature OF The Aldine is light aud graceful ae-
commandment, worthy Of the artistic features, with
with the popular interest OF the work.
