National feature of THE ALDINE
must be taken in no narrow sense. Tr,e
art is cosmopolitan. While THE Al
DINE is Il strictly American institution,
it does not continc itself entirely to the
reproduction of native art. Its mission
is t" cultivate broad and apprrciative
art taste. one that will discriminate only
on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus.
while placing before the patrons ofTHE
ALDlNE. as Il leading characterize, the
productions Of the most noted American
artists, attention will ,lways be given to
specimens from foreign masters, giving
subscribers all the pleasure and in,trnc-
ton ohtainable 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 . size more appropriate to
the satisfactory treatment OF details
than can be afforded by any inferior
page. The judicious interspersion of
landscape, 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
ALDlNE is Il light md graceful accom-
paniment, worthy Of the artistic fea-
tur"s, with only such technical lisq, isl
tions as do not interfere with the p0pu-
lar interest of the work.
