SPLENDID PICTURE OF THE "PRESIDENT"'

STEAM SHIP,

The readers of the STANDARD, and the public generally,
' are respectfully informed, that on Friday, the :31st of
July instant, will be presented gratuitously to subscri-
bers and purchasers of the paper of that day a. beau-
tiful Picture of the PRESIDENT, the largest Steam-
ship in the world, to be lithographed by a first-rate
Artist, from a splendid painting by Mr. S. Walters,
a gentleman of the highest celebrity as a Marine
Painter. This Picture will be accompanied by a full
and authentic description of the vessel, her construc-
tion, engines, and equipments.
The production of this work of art will be attended with
very considerable cost ; but the liberal patronage
with which the STANDARD has been honoured, in-
duces us to make this sacrifice, in testimony of our
gratitude, and in the hope that to a commercial and
nautical community such a present may be found
acceptable.
As we have already received an immense number of sub-
scribers, a more favourable opportunity could not be
presented for the wide circulation of advertisements,
which we respectfully solicit.
To parties desirous of obtaining Pictures, we suggest an
early application at the office, where a book is de-
posited for the insertion of names, in order that the
earliest and best impressions may be secured.
