"A Magnificent Conception, wonderfully
carried OUT
The necessity Of a popular Medium for
the representation nf the productions of
our great artists, has always been recog.
nizcd, aud many attempts have been
made to meet the want. The successive
failures which. 40 invaribly followed each
attempt in this cOhntry to establish an
art Journal, did not prove the inditltr-
encc Of the people Of America to the
claims of high art. So soon rs n proper
appreciation of Che want and an ability
to meet it were shown, the public ut
once rallied with enthusiasm to its sup
port. and the result was great artistic
and commercial triumph-THE ALDlNE.
THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity. has none Of the temporary or
timely interest characteristic of ordinary
peri ideals. It is an elegant miscellany
ofpnte, light and graceful literature; and
a collection of pictures, the rarcst sprci-
mems of artistic skill, in black and white.
Although each succeeding number affords
a fresh pleasure to it's friends, the real
value and beauty Of the ALD,SE will be
most appreciated after it has been bound
np ut the close of the year. While other
journals ,nav claim superior cheapness, as
compared with r. 'als Of a similar class,
the AtDlNE ia 4 unique and original con-
ception-a alone and unapproached ALSO
lutely without competition in price or
character. The possessor Of complcte
volume cannot duplicate the quantity Of
fine paper and engravings in any other
share Or number Of volumes for ten times
its cost and then, there is the Chrome
besides!
National feature of THE ALDINE
must be taken III 10 narrow sense. True
art is cosmopolitan. While THE Al
DINE is q strictly American institution.
it does not contine itself entirely to the
reproduction of native art. Its mission
is to cultivate broad and appreciative
art taste, one that will discriminate only
on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus
while placing before the patrons of THE
ALD1NT, as leading characterize, the
productions of the most noted American
artists, attention will always be given tG
specimens from foreign masters, giving
| subscribers all the pleasure and inStruc
! tion Obtainablo from home or foreign
sources.
