RED out"
THE ALDLNE, while issued with all the regular
ity, has none Of the temporary or timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. 1t is
an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and grace
est specimens of artistic skill in black and white
Although each succeeding number affords fresh
to its friends the real value and beauty of
the ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is
bound up at the close of the year. While other
pared with rivals Of asimilar class, THE ALDINE
is an unique and original conception-alone and
approached-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor Of q complete
volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine pa
per and engravings in any other shape or number
Of volumes for ten times its cost and then there
the chromos, besides!
While placing before the patrons Of THE ALD1NE
as leading characteristic, the productions of the
most noted American artists, attention will always
be given to specimens from foreign masters, giving
subscribers al the pleasure and instruction obtain
able from home or foreign sources.
The artistic illustrations of American scenery
original With the ALDlNE is an important feature,
and its magnificent plates are of size more appro-
priste to the satisfactory treatment of details than
can be afforded By any inferior page The judicious
lnterspersion Of landscape marine figure, and ami
NAL subjects, sustain an undated interest impossi-
too closely to single style of subject.
