a magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror of the iishions. und a literary conser
vator of surpassing interest and artistic excel
ence, aekuowlcdgcd to be the modern parUir
inapazino of America
The engraving, 2x32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'Ihe Pic-Nio on the
Fourth of July.'
The painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered ihe finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by LilliiM. Spencer. The
engraving was the li.bor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgers, Suuiuel
Halpin, und Samuel Hollyer ; Tho last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
fiuis.li 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 gcnerul ef
fect is very fine and impressive, -md the deli
rate finish to Ihe 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 iu this unsurpats
td proof of their genius.
Thciwork on the eugrnving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides ihe cost ofthe
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges ihe most elaborately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plute paper, worth $10 each, are to be
ivvu-as a premium tg each subscriber to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGZINE.
Yearly subscriptions only Three Dollars, and
ten cents (which is to be scut with the sub.
script ion), for the postage on the engraving

subscribers by rny publisher, and affords an
easy and eoonomicul way for any one to secure
an eloeunt work of art, a Parlor Picture that
is only next to a piano iu tho way of oruame'n
tation, aud 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
veuture anything iu saying that $10 will not
procure another that combines so much of in
terest aud beauty.
Specimens of the Magazine, with circulars,
giving full particulars, will be sent to any giv.
