PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON,

Engraved (by permission) from Stuarts
only original portrait in tho Atheneum, 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 WASHINGTON PARK CUSTlS,
who says, 1t is 4 faithful representation Of
the celebrated original, and to CHEF JUS
TlCE TANEY Of the Supreme Court of the
United states, who says, q AS a 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 ltwas
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 exact likeness, representing perfectly the
expression as we'll as the form and features of
the face" And says SENATOR CASS, ii is a
!ye-hhc TePrsScn,aisoa Of me great arg inai.
PRESIDENT FILLMORE says, " the work
appears TO me to have been admirably cxecu-
led and eai@sniy worthy of the patronage OF
tnc public Says MARCHANI the eminent
portrait painter, and the pupil Of Stuart,
youf print to my mind is more remarkable
than any other nave seen, for presenting the
'oaoie Individuality OF the original portrait,
together with the noble aud dignifcd repOse
OF air and manner, which all who ever saw
him considered 4 marked characteristic of the
illustrious man II comme emorates."
