National feature Of THE ALDlNE
must be taken in no narrow sense. True
art is cosmopolitan. While THE AL
DINE is a strictly American institution.
It does not connr itself entirely t" the
reproduction of native art. Its mission
is to cultivate a broad and apprcciat;vr
art taste, one that will discriminate only
on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus.
while placin. before the patrons ofTllE
ALDlNE. as II leading characterize. the
productions Of the most noted American
artists. attention will always be given to
specimens from foreign masters, giving
subscribers all the pleasure and ii>trnc-
ton obtainable from home or foreign
sources.
The artistic illustration Of American
scenery. original with THE AIDlNE, is
an important feature. and its magnificent
plates are Of n size more appropriate to
the satisfactory treatment of details
than can he afforded Ivy any inferior
page. The judicious intcrsperslon 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 a light and graceful accom-
paniment. worthy of the artistic tea-
lures, with only such technical disq: Isl
tons as do not interfere with the popu-
lar interest of the work.
