The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ularily, has none Of the temporary or time
~ interest characteristic Of ordinary peri
Odicals. IL II an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature and a collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen of ar.
tistic skill, In black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords q flesh
pleasure TO its friends, the real value ana
beauty OF The Aldine will be most appreci-
ated after 1t has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior eheapness, as compared with
rivals of n similar class, the Lldine is an UNI
ique and original conception-alone and I'm
proached-absolutely without concept"
in price or character.
ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations OF the Aidine have
q worldwide reputation, and IN the art CEN
tres OF Europe IL IL an admitted fact that
its wood cuts are examples OF the highest
perfection ever att0 tned. The common
prejudice I'm fayorof "steel plates" is rap
idly yielding TO a l..- educated and dis.
eliminating taste which recognizes the adj
vantages the advantages OF superior artistic
quality with greater facility OF production.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be
by Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue Tor 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season,
by our best artists, and will surpass In at
fractions any OF its predecessors.
