HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY,

A new and exquisitely characteristic portrait of
her Majesty the Queen has but just now made its
appearance from Mr Mitchell's well-known Estab-
lishment in Bond-street, It is announced as pub-
lished by command, and is dedicated to their Royal
Highnesses the Princesses. The engraving, which
is produced in the finest style by Wm. Holl, is
from a painting by A. Graefle. Attached to this
eminently beautiful work of art, inextricably asso-
ciated with it, are a few at least among the lovely
words of that now world-famous benediction or the
Poet Laureate

• .
His love unseen, but felt, o'ershadow thee ;
The love of all thy sons encompass thee;
The love of all thy daughters cherish thee;
The love of all thy people comfort thee,
Till God's love set thee at his side again."

And touchingly appropriate is the quotation thus
emblazoned beneath the engraving, seeing that
beside the seated figure of the Sovereign, arrayed
in her widow's weeds, there is the marble effigy of
her Ithjesty'd lamented Consort, Albert "The Great
and Good." No more charming portraiture of our
beloved Monarch—" Revered Victoria"—has ever
been produced. It will be gratefully welcomed by
a loyal and attached people.
