  • SOME PRESS OPINIONS. We think that we do not exaggerate when we say that this is the handsomest and most satisfactory art magazine puhlished in the English language; and if it keeps up its present standard, it is bound to be as great a success in this country as it is in England. For the benefit of its American readers, an American supplement is added, illustrated by the work of American artists. — Critic.
    It is a handsomely illustrated art magazine of quarto size, and in literary quality as well as artistic attractiveness it appeals irresistibly to cultivated tastes. Its presentation of the newer manifestations in current art is systematic and cosmopolitan, and in all that concerns decorative design it is an unimpeachable authority. — The Beacon, Boston. A sample copy will be sent upon receipt of ten cents.
