Prang’s American Chromos. 
IN OIL AND AVATER COLORS. 
Prang’s American Chromos are fac-simile reproductions 
of oil and water color paintings; so faithfully and skillfully 
done that it requires the experience of an expert to detect 
the difference between them and the originals. 
For every purpose of decoration,—for parlors, sitting- 
rooms drawing-rooms, nurseries, or chambers,—nothing so 
exquisitely beautiful as these Chromos can be obtained for 
the same amount of money. No other ornaments of the 
same cost are so admirably calculated to adorn a home; to 
cultivate a love for Art among the people at large; to 
brighten up the dwellings of every class of our citizens; and 
to teach the rising generation, by their silent yet refining 
influence, to love the beautiful in Artauclin Nature. Hither¬ 
to. Art has been aristocratic in its associations,—none but 
the wealthy classes could afford to buy fine works of art; 
but chromo-lithography has changed ail that, and brought 
exquisite paintings within the reach of every family. Ii is 
doing for Art what the printing-press did for Literature. 
Let no family, henceforth, be without a few classical books, 
and one or two masterly paintings. Both should be regarded 
as indispensable to complete a home.

nnd see what we have done and are doing to popularize 
Art. It will be sent to you free. Address
