Southern sentinel. [volume] (Plaquemine, Parish of Iberville [La.]) 1848-1858, 1852-12-25

This superb picture. engraved under the super
intendence of Thomas Sully, Esq, the eminent
and highly gifted artist, is the only correct like
ness OF Washington ever published. 1t has been
characterized as the greatest work OF art ever pro-
duced in this country. As 10 its fidelity, We refer
to the letters of the adopted son OF Washington,
George Washington Park Gusts, who says: 1t
is a faithful representation of the celebrated origi-
nal;;' and to Chief Justice fancy of the Supreme
Court of the United States, who says: "As awork
of art It's excellence and beauty must strike every
one who has seen it: and it is no less happy in its
likeness to the fathero of his country. 1t was my
good fortune to have seen him in the days of my
boyhood, and his whole appearance is yet strongly
impressed on my memory. The portrait you is
sued, appears TO be an exact likeness, representing
perfectly the expression as wen as the form and
features Of the face" And says Senator Cas-.
tits a life-like representation of the great oTlgI-
nal.n President Fillmore says: "the work ap-
pears to me to have been admirably executed and
eminently worthy of the patronage of the public
Says Merchant, the eminent portrait painter, and
the pupil Of Stuart, your print to my mind is
more remarkable than any other1 have seen, for
presenting the whole individuality of the original
portrait, together with the noble and digniiied re-
pose of air and manner, which all who ever saw
him considered a marked characteristic OF the IL
~lustrious man it commentaries
