A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN ART TASTE! Prospectus for 1873 Eighth Tear. THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,

Issued Monthly, ‘•A Magnificent Conception Wonderfully carted nt.” The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of great artists, has always been recognized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failure which so invariably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic and ton mercial triumph—The Aldine. The Aldine, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany oi pure, light, and graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specim. ns of artistic skill in black,’ and white.— Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldine' will be most appreci .ted after it is bound np at the close of the year. While other publications may cla m superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, The Aiding is an unique and original conception—alone and unapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volumn can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; anil there is the chromo, besides I The national feature of The Aldine must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While The Aldine is a strict-/ ly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to -cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the patrons of The Aldine, as a leading chaiacteristic, the productions of the most noted American arrets, attention will always be given to specimens from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction ob ainable 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 a site more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the work confines the artist too closely to a single style of subject. The literature of The Aldine is a light and graceful accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular in erest of the work. PREMIUM FOB 1875. will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait executed so true to the lite, that it seems/he veritable presence of the animal itself. The Bev. T. DeWitt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brqonklyn) barks at it! Although so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will have the slightest fear of being bitten.
