t. B. WEIGHS MAGNIFICENT
PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.

| LNNGRAVED (by pemission) from Stuart S
~ ONLY original portrait, in the Atheneum,
| Boston.
This superb picture, Engraved under the su
perntendence of Thomas Sully, ESQ.,, the emf
nent and highly gifted artist, is the only correct
likeness of Washington ever published. 1t has
been characterized as the greatest work of art
ever produced in this country. As to its fidelity,
we refer to the letters of the adopted son of
Shington-GE0RGE WASHINGTON PARK
GUSTS, who says, "it is faithful representa-
ton OF the celebrated original" and to CHIEF
JUSTICE TANEY Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, who says: GAS work of art its
excellence and beauty must strike every one who
sees it, and it is no less happy in its likeness to
the Father OF his country. 1t was my good fer
tune 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 ap-
pears to me to be an EXACT LIKENEss, represent
ing perfectly the expression as well as the form
ana features of the face" And says SENATOR
CASS, 1t is life-like representation of the great
original. PRESIDENT FILLMORE says. fthe
work appears to me to have been admirably exc
cuted and EMlNENTLY worthy of the patronage of
the public" Says MARCHANT the eminent
portrait painter and the pupil of Stuart, "your
prlnt 10 my mind is more remarkable than any
other have seen, for presenting the WHOLE indi-
ylduallty of the original portrait, together with
the noble and dignifed repoSe of air and manner,
which all who ever saw him considered a marked
characteristic of the illustrious man it commem-
orateS."
