Prospectus for 1875- Eighth ïear. THE ALDINE THE ART JOURXAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. 'A Mngnificent Conception wonderfully carried out." The necessity of a popular medium for the representiition of the productions of our great artista, has Uwayñ been recognized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures 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 aa a proper appreciation af the want and an ability to meet it were ahown, the public at once lallied with enthusiasm to ite support, and the result was a great artistio and commercial triumph- THE ALDINE. THE ALDINE, whileissued with all the regularity, bas none of the temporary or timely interests cbaracteristic of ordinary penodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, aud graceful literature ; and a eollection of picturea, the rarest specimens of artistie skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number aífords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real valué and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may clf-im suyerior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar claaa, THE ALDINE is a unique and original conception - - alone and unapproached- absoiutely without competit ion in price and character. The possessor of a complete volume can not duplícate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times üs cost ; and tken, there is the chromo, besidet! The national feature of THE ALDINE must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While THE ALDINE ie a strict American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. lts mission is to cultívate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while plaoing before the patrona of THE ALDINE, as a leuding characteristic, the productions of the most noted American artista, attention will alwaya be given to specimens from foreign mastera, giving subscribers all the pleaaure and inatruclion obtainable from home or foreign aoarces. The artistic illuatration of A merican acenery, original with THE ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnifleent plates are a size more apprupriate to the satisfactory treatment of details Uian can be afforded by any inferior page. The judioioun interspereion of landscape, marine, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated interest, impossible where the scope of the work coñnes 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 interiore with the popular interest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 1875. Every subscriber for 1875 will receive a beautiful portrait, in oil colora, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so much attention. Man's Unselftsh Friend will be welcome in every heme. Everybody loves such a dog, and the portrait is ezecuted so true to life, that it seems the veri tf. ble preaence of the animal itself. The Eev, T. De "Witt Talmage tella that bis own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) barks at it ! Although so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will have the slightest feai of being bitten. ííesiues me enromo, every nuvance suDsuriDer to THE ALDINE for 1875 is oon.stituted a member, and entitled to all the privilege! of THE ALDDÍE ART UNION. , The Union owns the origináis of all THE ALDINE picturee, which, with other paintingsandengravings, are to be described among the members.
