PLAN.
Every subscriber of FIVE DOLLARS is a member
of l1 le Aft-Union for the year, am} is entitled ts
all its privileges.
The money thus obtained (after paying necessary
expenses, ia a pulled?
First.? 7b the production of a large and costly
ORIGINAL ENGRAVING from an American painting,
of which the plate and copyright belong to the
Institution, uud are used solely for its benefit. Of
this Engraving every member receives a copy for
every five dollars paid by him. Members entitled
to duplicates are at liberty to select from the engravings
of previous years. Whenever the funds
justify it, AN EXTRA ENGRAVING OR WORK
OF ART is also furnished to every member. Every
member also receives a full Annual Report of the
proceedings, Ate., of the Institution.
Second.? To the purchase of PAINTINGS and
SCULPTURE, STATUETTES in Bronze, and
MEDALS, by native or resident artists. These
paintings anu sculptures arc publicly exhibited at
the Gallery of the Art-Union till the annual meeting
in December, when they are PUBLICLY DISTRIBUTED
BY LOT among the members, each
member having one share for every five dollars paid
by him. Each member is thus certain of receiving
in return the value of the five dollars paid, and may
also receive a painting or other work of art of great
value.
Third.?The Institution keeps an office and FREE
PICTURE GALLERY, alwuysopen, wellattended,
and hung with fine paintings, at 497 Broudway,
where the members in New York receive their en
^ItlVUlUB, ^tUUUU^D) Ok(.? U.I1U WI1CIV Hit UU01UCSH
of the Institution is transacted.
Fourth.?The Bulletin of the Art-Union, which
has now been enlarged to include, in addition to the
usual Catalogue of Pictures and List of Subscribers,
particular descriptions of works purchased for distribution,
news of interest in relation to the Fine
Arts, extracts from the correspondence of the institution,
Wood-cut Illustrations of Paintings belonging
to the Gallery, and generally such matters of
interest connected with the Art-Union as may be
desirable to subscribers, will be furnished gratuitously
to Honorary Secretaries, and to those members
who, after paying their subscriptions, shall
signify their desire to have it forwarded to them by
mail. To all others the price will be six cents per
number.
Distribution of the Engravings, and the Annual
Report of the year 1848.-sThe Engraving of " tyueen
Mary signing the Death Warrant of Lady Jane
Grey," upon steel, und measuring 23 inches by 15J
incites, was ntnsnea cariy in me year, ami nas oeen
in the hands of the printer ever since its completion.
Prints are being1 taken from it at the rate of fifty
per day, and the distribution of them will commence
about tile first day of May next.
An elldrt will be made to deliver them as nearly
as possible in the order of the receipt of subscriptions.
Those Honorary Secretaries, therefore, who
transmitted the earliest remittances may expect to
be first supplied. The Outline Illustration* of Rip
Van Winkle will be ready for delivery at the same
time with the "Queen Mary."
The "Transactions" will be published and distributed
at the same time with ine engravings.
The Knrraving for the year 1849.?The plate of
" Youth," being the second picture of Mr. Cole's
celebrated series of the " Voyage of Life," is in progress
under the skilful burin of Mr. James Smilic,
who will undoubtedly make it the beat large landscape
engraving ever executed in this country. A
small etching of this picture will accompany the
volume of "Transactions" about to be published.
The Medal for the year 1849.?The subject of this
medal is the head of Colonel Trumbull, in continuation
of the series of distinguished American artists,
commenced by the representations of Allston and
Stuart.
Bronze Statuette*.?A committee was appointed
some time since by the General Board to inquire
into the expediency of procuring statuettes in bronze
fur distribution at the next annual meeting. The
Londou Art-Union for several years has expended
most judiciously a portion of its funds in encouraging
this brunch of Art. There has always boeu
a difficulty in this couutry in obtaining proper
workmen, which is the principal reason why re
durcd copies in bronze have uot already been made
of several exquisite statues, modelled hy our own
artists, and whieh seemed peculiarly adapted to
this uuxie of treatment. Tula obstacle lias now
been removed, and there are here at present several
persons lately arrived from Europe, who are fully
competent to undertake this kind of work. Indoea,
the small bust of an Indian, beautifully modelled
by Hsoww, has been reproduced in bronze by one
of these artists in a very satisfactory manner. A
resolution has accordingly bceu passed, in accordance
with the recommendation of the special committee
of inquiry, that Mr. Brown tie commissioned
to model a statuette in bronze, twenty inches in
height, illustrative of Indian form ami character,
ami that twenty copies in bronze be cast for distribution
among the members of the year 1349.
fetchingt in Outline for the year 1H49.?A set of
Outlines, similar to tne illustrations of Rip Van
Winkle, will undoubtedly lie published for the
members of the present year. Tne special committee
upon Engravings have the subject under con
to the General Board. Dm notice shafTbs given as I
noon a* that body paw a decisive resolutionla relation
to it.
