"a Magnificent Conception wonderfully carried out
r He necessity of popular medium for the represent
tation of the productions Of great artists, has
always been recognized and many attempts have been
made meet the want The successive failures which
varaby followed each attempt in this country to
establish art Journal did not the indifference
Of the people of America to the claims OF high art so
proper appreciation of the want and an ability
meetit shown, the public at once rallied with
enthusiasm to its support, and the result great
artistic and commercial triumph-THE ALDLNE
THE ALDIAE, while issued with all the regularity,
has of the temporary timely interest character
lany of pure, light and graceful literature and col
lection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding
number affords fresh pleasure its friends, the real
va ne and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most APP
peciated after is bound up at the close of the year.
While other publications may claim superior cheap
ness as compared with rivals Of a similar class, THE
ALDLNE is unique and original conception-alone
and unapproached- absolutely without competition in
price character The possessor of complete volume
not duplicate the quantity Of fine paper and en-
cravings in any other shape number of volumes for
ten times the cost and ea there as the chrome besides
The national features of THE ALDINE must be ia
ken in True art is cosmopolitan
While THE ALDINE is strictly American institu-
on it does conne itself entirely to the reproduc
ton of native art. Its mission is to cultivate broad
and apprecatiVe TASTE that will discriminate
only grounds of intrinsic merit Thus, while plac
ing before the patrons Of THE ALDINE, as leading
Characteristic the productions Of the most noted Amer
lean artists attention will always be given to specimens
ure and instruction obtainabe from home or foreign
The artistic illustration American scenery, original
with THE ALDINE, is an important feature, anu its
magnificent plates of size more appropriate to the
satisfactory treatment of details than be afforded by
any inferior page. The judcious ntersPerson of land
scape marine figure and animal subjects, sustain an
undated interest, impossible where the scope Of the
work confines the artist too closely to single style OF
subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is hight
and graceful accompaniment worthy OF the artistic fea-
lures with only such technical dsquisitons do not
interfere with the popular interest of the work.
