THE IDEAL, 

 CHRISTMAS GIFT 



A gift is cherished not only because of the giver, but on account of the 

 genuine benefit and pleasure to be derived from it. These reasons explain 

 largely the remarkable demand for " The Ideal Collection of the World's 

 Great Art" for Christmas presentation. The collection is first of all a 

 thing of supreme beauty. The sixty plates contained therein are the most 

 perfect reproductions ever imported from Europe of the great masterpieces 

 of Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Rubens, Van Dyck, Murillo, Velasquez, 

 Titian, Paul Veronese, Raphael, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Landseer, 

 Corot, Millet, Whistler, and scores of others among the great artists of 

 the world. Only secondary in importance to the beauty of the plates are the 

 sixty descriptive articles^ written by the leading art critics and writers of 

 England and America. These sixty articles, along with the illuminating 

 introduction by Mr. John La Farge, are a liberal education in art. When 

 these articles are read in conjunction with the perfect plates reproduced 

 frnm original paintings by sixty master artists, as shown in the collection, 

 they form a basis for a more complete knowledge of the art of the world 

 within the last five hundred years than any other collection of its kind ever 

 published. 



IMPORTANT 



1 One of the Greatest art critics has said : " It is the work of art lived 

 with that opens its beauties to the eye." As the Ideal Collection affords 

 a perfect AKT GALLERY FOR THE HOME, you live and have daily 

 communion with the great pictures included in it. 



2 To the traveller "The Ideal Collection ot the World's Great Art*' will

galleries of the Old World. 



S To those who have not been so fortunate as to visit 

 the great galleries of the Old World, the "Ideal Col- 

 lection" will be a revelation of beauty and will ac- 

 quaint the owner perhaps in a more thorough way 

 than travel would have done. 



4 As the work is arranged in twelve beautiful vel- 

 lum portfolios, according to the different' schools, 

 the work may be presented as a whole, or it may be 

 divided into twelve parts for Christmas presentation. 



5 The sixty plates of the Ideal Collection are worth

 poses, a small fraction of the actual value of "The 

 Ideal Collection of the World's Great Art" will be 

 quoted for the next thirty days.
