A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN ART TASTE I Prospectus tbr 1875 — Biglith Year. THE ALDINE, THB ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. “ i Magnificent Ceneeptiori Wonderfully carted at.” The necessity of a popular medium forth# representation of the productions of great artists, has always been recognized, and many attempts have been made to meat the want. The sm tessive tailure which so invariably followed each attempt in tbib country to establish an art journal, di> sot prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. bo soon as a proper appreciation of the waut and an ability to meet it were shown, the pubic at once rallied with enthusiaast to iu support, and the result was agn at artistic and eon.mcrcial triumph—The Aldins. The Al .ine, while issued with all thd egularity, has none of the tempo ary or time;y inUrest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specim- ns of artistic skill in black, and white.— Although each succeeding sumber affords a fresh pleasure to its fr.enda, the real value and beauty of The Ald us will be must appreci ted after it is bound up at the close es the j ear. While other publicatioae so-/ cla m superior cheapness, as compa id with rivals f a similar class, ths Aidin: is aa unique and original conception—alone and uuupproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volumn can not duplicate the quantity of fine p*per and engravings in any other shape or number of vUuaiee for ten times its cost; and there is theahromof besidest The national feature of The Aldine must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While The Aldine is a etr city Amei icau institution, it does not confine itself entinly to the reproduction of native* art. Its mission is to cultivate a bread and appreciative art taste, one that will d.scriminate inly on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the paV* rous of The Aldine, as a leading chaiactoristic, th- productions of the most uoud Ain. rican ar ists, attention will always be given to specimens from foreign masters,' giving subscrib' rs all tbe pleasure and in' struct ion ob ainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with The Ald ire, hi aa important feature, and its magnificent plateare of a size more appropriate to tbe satisfactory treatment ot details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, a d animal subjects, sustain anu'«abated interest, impossible where the Work confines the artist too ch sely to a single style us subject. The li erature of The Al' dine is a light and gra eful accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such tecbn cal disquisitions as do not interfere with tbe popular in erest of the work.PREMIUM FOR 1873. , Fvery subscriber for 1875 wdl receive » be utiiul portrait, in oil colons, of the same noble dog wh< se picture fin a former issue attract d so much uftentiofi, /‘Man’s Uksxlfibh Fxix>i/’ will be welcome in every home.
