Along with the unfailing and refined pleasure a portfolio of these beautiful pictures will give, attention is called to their educational value to young art students, and to all young people, as the photogravure process preserves each artist's peculiar technique, showing how the drawing is really made, something that engraving largely obliterates. _The_ WIDE AWAKE ART PRINTS _are issued on the first and fifteenth of each month, and are regularly announced in the magazine_. SPECIAL. Keeping in view the interests of our readers, we have decided not to place the Art Prints in the hands of agents or the general trade. In this way our patrons are saved the retailers' and jobbers' profits, so that while these beautiful works of art, if placed in the picture stores, would bear a retail price of $3.00 to $10.00, we are able to furnish them to our readers and patrons at a UNIFORM NET PRICE OF ONLY FIFTY CENTS EACH. Orders for half-yearly sets of twelve will be received at $5.50 in advance; and for yearly sets of twenty-four at $10.00 in advance. All pictures are sent in pasteboard rolls, postpaid. Half-yearly and yearly subscribers will receive each monthly pair in one roll. Portfolios, suitable for holding twenty-four or less, will be supplied, postpaid, for 75 cts. NOW READY: OCT. 1. "=Little Brown Maiden.=" KATE GREENAWAY. The sweetest and quaintest of Miss Greenaway's creations. The original watercolor was purchased in her London studio by Mr. Lothrop, and is perhaps the only original painting by Kate Greenaway in America. OCT. 15. "=On Nantucket Shore.=" F. CHILDE HASSAM. A wood engraving from this sea-beach picture was the frontispiece to the September WIDE AWAKE. In a boy's room it would be a delightful reminder of vacation days. NOV. 1. "=In Grandmother's Garden.=" WM. T. SMEDLEY. This is a picture of the time when mother was a little girl, and walked with grandmother in the dear old lady's garden. NOV. 15. "=The Dream Pedler.=" EDMUND H. GARRETT. Every nursery should have this picture of the captivating Dream Peddler, standing on the crescent moon and with his bell crying his dreams for sale. DEC. 1. "=Morning.=" F. H. LUNGREN. DEC. 15. "=Evening.=" F. H. LUNGREN. These are companion pictures--the beautiful ideal figures set, the one in the clear azure of a breezy morning, the other in the moonlight mystery of evening.
