A SPLENDID PRIZE FOR THE LADIES !
tit finest, most pleasing, and costly cnorrav-
iug ever published in America, to bo presented
as a premium to each subsciibcr to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY,
a magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser
vator of surpassing interest and artistic excel
enco, acknowledged to be the incdern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 28x32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pic-Nio on the
Fourth of July.'
The painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lillij M. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer ; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rote finish to the heads will bear the most mi
nute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
Thejwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
oopyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished largo work
of art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $10 each, are to be
given as a premium to each subscriber to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGZINE.
Yearly subscriptions only Three Dollars, and
ten cents (which is to be sent with the sub.
ncription), for the postage on the engraving
(which will be mailed securely done up on
roller.
This is certainly the largest, most liberal
and splendid premium ever offered to single
subscribers by my publisher, aud affords an
easy and economical way for any one to secure
an elegant work of art, a Parlor Picture that
is only next to a piano in the way of ornamen
tation, and a perpetual reminder of a day
which ought to to be cherished and held in re
membrance by every true American.
The reception of this magnificent picture
will take every one by surprise, and we do not
venture anything in saying that $10 will not
procure another that combines to much of in
terest and beauty.
Speoimeni of the Magazine, with circulars,
giving full particulars, will be sent to any giv.
n address, post free on receipt of 15 oents.
