A Magnificent Pictorial and Literary Weekly Journal.
GLEASON'S PICTORIAL
DRAWING-ROOM COMPANION,
A RECORD OF THE BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL IN ART.
The object of this paper is to present, in the most elegant and available form, a weekly literary
melange of notable events of the day. Its columns are devoted to original tales, sketches and
poems, by the
BEST AMERICAN AUTHORS,
and the cream of the domestic and foreign news; the whole well spiced with wit and humor.
Each paper is
BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED
with numerous accurate engravings, by eminent artists, of notable objects, current events in all
parts of the world, and of men and manners, altogether making a paper entirely original in its
design in this country. Its pages contain views of every populous city in the known world, of
all buildings of note in the eastern or western hemisphere, of all the principal ships and steamers
of the navy and merchant service, with fine portraits of every noted character in the world, male
and female. Sketches of beautiful scenery, taken from life, are also given, with numerous
specimens from the animal kingdom, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea. The Pictorial
is now printed on the finest of paper, from a font of new and beautiful type, manufactured
expressly for it,—presenting in its mechanical execution an elegant specimen of art. It contains
fifteen hundred and sixty-four square inches, giving a great amount of reading matter and illustrations—a
mammoth weekly paper of sixteen octavo pages. It forms
THE BEST FAMILY PAPER,
inasmuch as its aim is constantly, in connection with the fund of amusement it affords, and the
rich array of original miscellany it presents, to inculcate the strictest and highest tone of morality,
and to encourage virtue by holding up to view all that is good and pure, and avoiding all that is
evil in its tendency. In short, the object is to make the paper loved, respected, and sought after
for its combined excellences.
