Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 3

[miscellaneous paragraph]

Some of the cuts used by the ink-makers in their advertisements are real works of art—pleasant to look upon. But we are pretty tired of one in our American exchanges which does not come into this category. It is the seated figure of a female with averted face and hair hanging untidily over her eyes—her hands, with fingers widely extended, pressed inelegantly on her hips. She gazes into a darkness as intense as that of Egypt, and which serves to set off the rich black of the ink. Can the manufacturers not find a better subject than this?
