Famous Paintings of the World.

In ''Famous Paintings of the World, y
now offered to our readers, are splendid
reproductions by the perfected half-tone
process, of great paintings exhibited at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition. This
portfolio series does not, however, con-
sist wholly of subjects which had place
on the walls of the magnificent apart
ments in the art building in Jackson
park. We believe that the average quail
ity of paintings reproduced in Famous
Paintings of the World'' is higher than
the average quality of the art exhibited
at Chicago. The portfolio series here
referred to is worthy of the considera-
ton of all our readers who appreciate
the beautiful and the truly artistic. Four
numbers are already issued, and one will
be published each week until the whole
series of 20 numbers is completed
