"A MAGNIFICENT CONCEPTION WONDERFULLY
CARRIED OUT"

The necessity of a popular medium for the
representation Of the productions of our great
artists. has always been recognized and MANY
attempts have been made to meet the want The
successive failures which so invariably followed
each attempt in this country to establish an art
journal, did not prove the indifference of the
people of America to the claims of high art. So
soon as proper appreciation of the want and
ability to meet it We're shown, the public at once
rallied with enthusiasm to its support. and the
result was a great artistic and commercial fri
umph - TIE ALDINE.
THE ALDiNE, while issued with all the reg
ularlty' has none OF the temporary or timely in
terest characteristic OF ordinary periodicals. 1t
is an elegant miscellany of pure light, and
graceful literature and collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens OF artistic skill, in black
ana white. Although each succeeding number
affords fresh pleasure to its friends the real
value and beauty of TIE ALDINE will be
most appreciated after it is bound up at the
close OF the year. While other publications NAV
claim superior cheapness, as compared with RI
walls OF n similar class, THE 1LDINE is a
unique and original conception-alone and nm
pproachcd-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of complete
volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine
