for the Home of every Dweller in Uty, Town, or Country.

E2T OPINION OF AN EMINENT ARTIST. 
I was delighted this morning, in passing' the window of the American Agricul¬ 
turist, to see offered as a Premium a reproduction of a very beautiful Picture, 
“ THE MEADOW," by Dupre. This Picture is an Educator, aud I am 
glad to see the American Agriculturist the first to take hold of it. 
October 27, 1882. F. S. CHURCH. 
Julien Dupre, one of the most famous artists of the French School, was born 
in Paris, where for many years his magnifieeut works of art, in the Salons of that 
city, have attracted the attention of people of all nations ; he is a pupil of the ar¬ 
tists Pils, Langee aud H. Lehmann. 
In 1880 he received a medal from the French Salon, for one of his great works. 
Again in 1881 he received another medal, as a mark of distinction for his rare 
ability. This last aud greatest of his productions, “ IA THE JIEADOW,” 
( Dans la Prairie,) reached this country about the first of October, and is pronounced 
by our American Artists one of the grandest, if not the grandest of the remarkable 
pictures produced ttii» year. It has been on exhibition in the gallery of 
paintings adjoining the office of the American Agriculturist , where it was daily visited 
by large numbers of people. Our plate copy is large, but not too large to be framed. 
It is 171 inches long and 12 inches wide. Even though it be not framed, it makes 
a beautiful ornament for any room. 
This picture is now being reproduced by our artists, especially for the readers 
of the American Agriculturist. There is no other reproduction in the United States 
As above stated, the original painting is offered at $5,000. Any of our subscribers 
desiring to view it, can do so until the picture is sold, by calling at this office. 
XIIE MEADOW" represents a farm scene of great beauty. 
In the distance are seen the farmer’s dwelling and outbuildings nestling quietly in a 
dense mass of rich foliage; near by are a group of cattle, standing or lying down in the 
shade. In the direct foreground is presented perhaps the finest engraving of a cow 
ever executed. 
The marvelous outlining of the animal is alike the wonder and admiration of our 
American artists who call to examine the picture. She has broken away from a 
stake ( Pfahl), to which she was tied, and is moving off to join the other cattle. The 
peasant woman, to whom the cow belongs, has caught up the broken strands of the 
rope, and is endeavoring to bring back the wayward animal. The outlines of the 
woman’s face, the whole expression of her countenance, and her attitude are those 
of strength and determination, fully equal to that displayed by the unruly animal in 
her efforts to release herself from the vigorous grasp. Taken all in all, the farm 
picture is one of surpassing loveliness and beauty. 
This picture is given to every subscriber to the American Agriculturist 
for 1883, new or old, whether coming singly at $1.50 each, or in clubs. Subscribers in 
Premium Clubs will also be entitled to it. The Picture will be delivered at this Of¬ 
fice free, or if sent by mail, 10c. must be sent to pay cost of postage, packing, etc. 
It will be reproduced on heavy plate paper, aud securely packed _in a suitable, tube 
for mailing. REMEMBER, this powerful picture, will be delivered' 
FREE, to every subscriber to the American Agriculturist (English or German 
Edition). It will be sent to a subscriber at any Post Office in the United States or 
Canada, on receipt of 10c. for packing, postage, etc.
