JUST PUBLISHED,
T. b. WEIGHTS MAGNIFICENT
PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.

Engraved (by pcrnlisslon) from Stuart 5
only original portrait, in the Athcncum, Bos-
ton.
This superb picture Engraved under the
superintendent Of THOMAS SuLLY, ESQ,
the eminent and highly gifted artist, is the
only correct likeness of Washington ever pub
lished. 1t has been characterized rs the
greatest work of art ever produced in this
country. As to its fidelity, we refer to the
letters of the adopted son of Washington,
GEORGE ASlllNGTON PARK CUSTlS,
who says, " 1t is II faithful representation of
the celebrated original, and to CHEF JUS
TlCE TANEl Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, who says, &: As work Of art
its excellence and beauty must strike every
one who secs it, and it is no less happy in it's
likeness to the Fatherof 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 have issued appears to me to be
an craei likeness, representing perfectly the
| expression as well us the form and features of
the face" And says SENATOR CASS, ii is a
| We-iikc representation 0f the graf original.
| PRESIDENT FILLMORE says, 81 the work
appears to me to have been admirably cxccu-
t ii and emiRcAHy worthy Of the patronage of
the public" Says MARCHANT the eminent
portrait painter, and the pupil Of Stuart,
your print TO my mind is more remarkable
than any other have seen, for presenting the
| ,rk0ie individuality of the original portrait,
| together with the noble and dignfed rcposc
of air AMI manner, which all who ever saw
him considered marked characteristic of the
| illustrious man it commentaries.
