Issued MONTHLY.
The Aldlne, while Issued with all the regularity,
has none OF the temporary timely interests char
acterlstc Of ordinary periodicals.. 1t is elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature; ;
and collection of pictures the rarest specimens OF
artistic skill in black and white The possessor CT
a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity
line paper and engravings In any other shape oil
number OF volumes for ten times Its cost and then
there is the chrome, besides
While The Aldine Is strictly American Institution
it does not con1ne itself to the reproduction OF ma
noted American artists, attention Will always be
given to specimens from foreign masters, giving
subscribers all the pleasure and instruction obtana-
5le 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 APP
proprate TO the satisfactory treatment of details
than he afforded by any inferior page. The judi
clous nterspersion of landscape, marine, figure and
animal subjects, sustains IN unabated Interest, i'm
possible where the scope Of the work confines the
artist too closely to single style or subject. The
literature of The Aldne is light and graceful ae-
compartment worthy OF the artistic fea ures with
only such technical csqulsitons do not interfere
with the popular interest OF the work.
