THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, PRICE ONE SHILLING,
Enclosed in an Ornamental Wrapper,
THE FIRST MONTHLY PART OF
THE ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE OF ART,
BEING A MUCH-IMPROVED SERIES OF
THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR & MAGAZINE OF ART.
For the information of those who have not seen previous announcements,
the character of the changes introduced may be thus stated:—
FIRST—as to the _Title_ of the Work. This will be, in future, THE
ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE OF ART. The title, “The Illustrated Exhibitor,”
&c., led many persons to suppose that it was a description of the
objects deposited at the Great Exhibition of 1851; whereas it is, as its
new title will more clearly explain, a rich repository of choice
Specimens of Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Ornamental Design,
Natural History, Portraits, Machinery, Manufacturing Processes, &c. &c.
SECONDLY—as to the _character of the Contents_. The Articles will appear
in a more continuous and perfect form, with few or none of those breaks
and interruptions which gave the Series just concluded somewhat too much
of a fragmentary form. Due regard will be paid to an interesting
variety; and, where the entire subject cannot be disposed of in one
Part, it will be so arranged as that each portion shall be complete in
itself.
THIRDLY—as to the _Price_. Instead of the Monthly Parts varying in
price,—at sometimes 9d., and at other times 11d.,—the Parts will be
published at the uniform price of ONE SHILLING each. For this slight
advance in price the Purchasers will have a valuable equivalent. Besides
the profusion of Engravings throughout the Work, each Part will contain
at least Four principal Engravings, worked off separately upon superfine
Plate Paper. In order to compete the Half-yearly Volumes, the Parts for
_June_ and _December_ will contain _Thirty-two Pages_ extra of
illustrated matter, and Two separate first-class Engravings, worked on
Plate Paper. The price of these Parts will be 1s. 6d. each. As has been
already announced, the _Weekly Sections_ will consist of Sixteen Pages,
with a number of Engravings in the Text, and a first-class Engraving,
printed separately on fine Plate Paper; the whole stitched in a neat
Wrapper, price Threepence.
A feature of considerable interest will be introduced in the _Pictorial_
Department, namely, THE WORKS OF THE GREAT MASTERS. One entire Work will
be given in each Monthly Part, including a Memoir of the Master, with
his Portrait, and a Selection of Six of his principal Works, beautifully
engraved, and accompanied with appropriate descriptions.
