The Only True p Portrait o E Washing

VUST PUBLISHED, T. b. We!ch's magnifi-
81 cent portrait of WASHINGTON, Engra-
we'd (by permission) from Stuart's only original
portrait in the Atheneunl, Boston.
This superb picture, Engrcyed under the super
intendence of Thomas Sully, ESD, tho eminent
and highly gifted artist, is the only correct like
ness of Washington, ever published. 1t has been
characterized the greatest work of art ever pro-
duced in this country: As to its fidelity, we re-
fer to the letters of the adopted of Washing
ton, GEORGE WASHINGTON PARx CUsrls, who says,
sit is faithful reprcs ton Of the col ebrated
original and to Chief Justice Tuncy of the Su-
premc Court of the United States, who says, ''As
a work of art its excellence and beauty must
strike every one who secs it, and ii is no less hap
py in its likeness 10 the Father of his country. 1t
was my good fortune TO have seen him in the days
ofmy boyhood, and his whole appearance is yet
strongly impressed my memory. The por-
trait you have issued appears to me TO be an er-
act likeness, representing perfectly the expression
well as the form and features of the facs."-
And says Senator Cass, 1t is life like representa-
ton Of the great original President Fillmore says
8. the work appears TO me 10 have been admirably
executed and emincntly worthy of the patronage
of the public" Says Marchant the eminent por-
trait painter, and the pupil of Stuart, 'yOur print
to my mind is more remarkable than any other
have seen, for presenting the whole individuality
of the original portrait, together with the noble
and dignified repose of air and manner, which all
who ever him considereda marked character
istic ofthe illustrious man it commemorates.''
