THIS superb picture. Engraved under the sup.
l. erintendence OF TBoMAs SULLY, Esq, the
eminent and highly gifted artist, is the only cor
rect likeness of Washington ever Published.
1t has been characterised as the greatest work OF
art evei produced in this country. AS to its tdcl-
ity, we refer to the letters OF the adopted son of
Washington. GEoRSE WASHINGTON PARK CuSrIs,
who says, 1T is faithful representation of the
celebrated original,' and TO Chief Justice Taney
OF the Supreme Court o: the United States, who
says, "As work of art it's excellence and beauty
must strike every one who sees 1t; and 1t is no less
happy in its likeness to the Father OF his country.
1t was my good fortune to have seen him in the
days of my boyhood. and his whole appearance il
yet strongly impressed on my memory. The
portrait you have issued appears to me to be an
eTdcf hkeess representing perfectly the expression
as well as the form and features of the iace."-
And says Senator CAss, it is Hfe-hkc representa-
tioh Of the great original President FILLMORE
says. "the work appears to me to have been ad-
mirably executed and enineftiy worthy of tine pat
sronage Of the public" Says MARcHANr the emi<
snent portrait painter. and the pupil of Stuart,
your print to my mind is more re,rlarkab BILE than
ANY other have seen, for presenting the whole
Individuality OF the original portrait together with
the noble and dgnihed repose o: air and manner,
which all who ever saw hm considered marked
characteristic OF the illustrious man it commem-
orates."
