SPLENDID PRIZE FOR THE LADIES.
Tbo finest, nioif pleasing, and costly ngrai
ing ever published in America, to bo preseated
as a premium to each subsciiber to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY,
a magazine of practical utility in the homo, a
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser
vator of surpassing interest and artistio excel
encc, acknowledged to bs the modern parlor
magazine of America
Tbo engraving, 28x32 inches, Is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pio-Nio on ths
Fourth of July.'
The painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lillia M. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgerg, Samuel
Unlpin, and Samuel Hollycr ; The luBt named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of tho painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving Tho general ef
fect is very fino and impressive, .ind the deli
rato 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 iu this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
Thejwork on the engraving alono 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 evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $10 each, are to bo
given as a premium to each subscriber to
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGZINH.
Tcarly subscriptions only Three Dollars, and
ten cents (which is to be sent with the sub
scription), for the postage on tho engravings
(which will bo mailed securely done up on a
roller.
This is certainly the largest, most liberal
and splendid premium ever offered to single
subscribers by rny publisher, and affords an
easy and economical way for any one to secure
an clcrnnt vmrk of art, a Parlor Ficlure that
is only next to a piano in tho way of ornamen
tation, and a perpetual reminder of a dny
which ought to to be cherished and held in re
membrance by every true American.
The reception of this nif.gnificent picture
will take every ono by surprise and we do not
venture anything in saying that $10 will not
procure another that combines so much of in
terest and beauty.
Specimens of the Magazine, with circulars,
giving full particulars, will be sent to any giv.
en address, post freo on receipt of 15 cents.
