The Aldine, An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally admitted to be the Handsomest Pei iodical in the World. A Representative and Champion of American Taste. fiAfXSYSSB. SALK IN BOOK OB HEWS STORES THE ALDINE, wb’le issued with all t!RF regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary peri odicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pore, light and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, tbe rarest specimens of artistic skill, in thick and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friend", lire real va ue and be uty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the do e of the -year. While other, publications may claim superior cheapness, as cdinpared with rfrafeof the same class, THE ALDlNEiannwuuc. and original conception-alone and unappro.rched—absolutely without competition price or ch Ciacter. 'I he possessor of a complete volume ci nnot duplica c the quantity of line paper and engravings in any other shape or number cf volumes/or ten tines its cost: and then then are the Chromos, besides!

ART DEPARTMENT, IN7I. The illustrations.oF* THE ALDINE have won a world-wide reputation, aud in the art centers of Europe u is an admitted fact that its wood cuts are examples of the highest perfection ever attained. The common prejudice in favor of ■■steel plates,” is rapidly lieidirigto a more educated and d -criniiuat. itrg taste wliicElTeaiigalzes the advantage# of superior artistic quality with greater facility of production. The wood cuts of THE ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elaborate tinieli of the most costly steel plate, while they afford a better rendering of the artist's original. ~ ' To fully realize the wonderful work which THE ALDINE is doing for the cause of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost to the people of any other decent representations of the productions ot great painters. Jn additento designs by members of the National Academy, and other noted American artists, THE ALDINE wiil reproduce exam pies of the best foreign toasters, selected with a view to -the Inghest-artiaiic- success and greatcsi general interest Thus the subseritier to THE ALDINE will, at a trlfling cost, enjoy in his own hopre the pleast! es and relining influences of true art. 'lire quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by Thos. .Moran and J. D. WoodwardThe Christmas issue for 1874 will contain special designs appropriate to the season, by our best artists, rind will surpass in attractions any of its predve-e tors. ■ ■» VREMiaiMM FOR 1071. Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for the year 1874 will rec.lve a pair of chromes.— The original pictures were p.iilited in oil for the publishers of'THE ALDINE, by Thos Moran, whose gre.it Colorado picture was pm - chased by Coßgress lor ten thourand dollars The subjects were chosen to represent “J he East” and “Tlrh West.” One is a view in The White Mountains,New-Hampshiie; the other gives The Clifls of Green River, Wyoming TerrUory. The difference in the nature the scenes themselves is a pleasing, contrast, and affords a good display of the artisl’s scope and coloring The ebromos are each worked from thirty distinct plates, and are in size (12 X lb; and appearance exact lac similes ofthe originals. The presentation of ft wooby example of America’s greatest landscape painter to.tue subscribers of THE ALDINE was n bold but peculiarly happy idea, and its successful realisation is attested by the foFlowover the, signature of Moran himself. Nfwauk, N. J., Sept.lOh, 1873. Messrs. James Sutton & Co.. Gentlemen, — I ,am delights*! with tbe proofs in color of your chromos. They are wonderfully successful repit»< utations by mechanical process of the original paintings. Very respectfully, (Signed,) THOS. MORAN. 'I hire chromes are in every sense American They are by an, or.gin.il American process! witir material of Ann 1 lean niaqufactu-e,from designs of American scenery by an American priin er, and subscribers to the first suceessfi.l American Ait Journal. If no better bi-cause of ail this, they will certainly possess an interest no foreign production can : inspire, and neither are they any the worse if ! by reason of peculiar f cilities of production | they cost the publishers only a tr itie, while equal in every respect to other tiirumos that are sold singly for double the subscription price of ; THE ALDINE. Persons of taste will prize , these pictures for themselves—not for, the price they did or did not tost, and will appreciate the enterprise that renders their distr;- I bution possibly. It any should indicate a preference for u figure subject, the pul Ushers will semi ‘ Thoughts of home ” a new and Tieafilifut chromo, 14 x 2|> inches, representing a little Italian exile whoso speaking eyes betray the, longings vs bis heart.
