PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME THREE.
NEW YORK ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE
OF LITERATURE AND ART.
EDITED BY LAWRENCE LABREE,
And Published by WILLIAM TAYLOR & Co., No. 2 Astor House,
New York, and Baltimore, Md.
London: WILEY & PUTNAM, 6 Waterloo Place.
Having succeeded in our first two volumes, by moderate exertions,
beyond our expectations, we have determined for the future, to put
on full strength, both in respect to
Copies from Original Paintings,
AS SUBJECTS OF ILLUSTRATION, AND
Original Articles from Distinguished Contributors.
The Third Volume will commence with the Number for January,
1847, and will be a tolerable specimen of what we intend to do,
and to which we would call the attention of the public and the press.
We do not intend to give Fashion Plates, as we know it to be impossible
to give them nearer than three months after the season—the
fashionable dress-maker in Broadway receives her fashions from Europe
as early as the publisher, and they would certainly be profitless
to her, if obliged to wait one or two months for engraving and printing.
We do intend to have our articles written by first rate contributors,
and in such a style as to reflect some credit upon the periodical literature
of the country. Among several ladies and gentlemen actually
engaged to contribute to the pages of the “NEW YORK ILLUSTRATED
MAGAZINE,” are the following—
Mrs. E. O. SMITH, Author of the “Sinless Child.”
Mrs. FRANCIS S. OSGOOD.
M. M. NOAH, Author of “Travels in England, France, Spain, and
the Barbary States.”
SEBA SMITH, Author of “Powhattan”—the original “Jack Downing.”
WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS, Author of the “Yemassee,” &c. &c.
C. F. HOFFMAN, Author of “Greyslaer,” “Winter in the West,”
&c. &c.
HENRY WILLIAM HERBERT, Author of “Marmaduke Wyvil,”
&c. &c.
ALFRED B. STREET,
