PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.
Eugyavcd (by e1missio7s) from Stxarts
only origsnaI portrait, am the
laA .AthenessAz, Boston.
/ fsNaIS superb picture, Engraved under the sup
I 4 erintendence OF Thomas SULLY, Esq. the
eminent and highly gifted artist is the only cor
rect likeness of Washington ever published.
Il has been characterised as the greatest work OF
art even produced in this country. AS to its fdel
itv we refer to the letters OF the adopted son of
Washington, GEORGE WASHINGTON PARK CUsTIs,
who says, 1T is a faithful representation of the
celebrated orglnal,n and to Chief Justice Taney
OF the Supreme Court OF the United States, who
says "As work OF art its excellence and beauty
must strike every who it; and it is no less
happy in it's 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 is
yet strongly impressed OH my memory. The
portrait you have issued appears to me to be an
exact hsenesS representing perfectly the expression
as well as the form and features of the face."-
And says Senator CAss 1t is a hte-kke representa-
tion Of the great original. President FILLMORE
says. "the work appears to me to have been ad-
mirably executed and e6aentiy worthy of the pat
rohage OF the public" Says MARCHANT the emf
nent portrait 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 diguifed repose o. air and manner,
which all who ever saw him considered marked
characteristic OF the iilustrious man it commem-
orates.>
