The finest, 'most pleasing, and costly engrav
ing ever pv.hlished In America, to be presented
as a pretu) urn to each subset iber to
D"EMOREST'S MONTHLY,
a mncpizlne of prnrtioal utility in the house, a
tnirrov of the tishlons, snd a literary conser
vator of surpassing interest and artislio excel
eno'i, acknowledged to be the msdern parlor
megoiineof America
The engraving, 28x32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The I'ic-Nio on the
Fourth of July.'
The painting took a whole yenr, and is con
sidered the finest of the entiro list of numerous
populor productions by LilliaM. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgcrs, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer ; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ahly seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef
fect is very fine and iutyessive, md the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
nute inspection. The union of lino and stipple
is executed with unusunl ability, and their
skilful combination has grently contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
Thcjwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art cvor engrnved 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
scription), for tho postage on the engraving
(which will be mailed securely done up on b
roller.
This is certainly the largest, most liberal
;!endid premium ever offered to single
subscribers by my publisher, and affords an
easy and economical way for any Pne to secure
an eletrant work of art, a Parlor Picture that
is only next to a piano in the wny of ornnmcn
tatinn, 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 so much of in
terest and beuuly.
Specimens of the Mngniine, with circulars,
giving full particulars, will be sent to any giv.
