TIE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,
Issued MONTHLY.
The Aldine, while issued with all the regularity,
has none Of the temporary or timely interests char
arterlstc OF ordinary periodicals. II is an elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature I;
and acnllccton Of pictures, the rareSt specimens Of
artistic SKILL in black and white. The pUssessOr 4
a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity o
tine paper and engravings in any other shape OF
number OF volumes for ten times It's cost amt then
there is the chrome, besides
Willie The Aldlne is Il strictly American institution
it does not conllne itself to the reproduction of ma
tive art. In addition to the productions OF the most
noted American ARTISTS attention Will always he
given to specimens from foreign masters, giving
subscribers all the pleasure and instruction Obiana-
BILE from home or foreign sources.
The artistic Illustration of American scenery
original with The Aidine is an important feature,
and its magnificent plates are Of Il size more ali-
proprate to the satisfactory treatment of details
than can be afforded by any inferior page. The Iuti-
clOus nterspersion of landscape, marine, figure aud
animal subjects sustains An unahated interest," M
possible where the scope of the work confines Tue
artist too closely to single style or subject. Ihe
literature OF The Aldlne Is light and gacciul h-
compartment, worthy OF the artistic lea ufrs win
only such technical Gisquistons rs do not interfere
with tile popular interest OF the work.
