! "A ONLY original portrait, in ne A'ne"eu"b
Boston,.
This superb picture, Engraved unde- the sl'
perintendence of Thomas Sully, EsS, tn ellll.
nent and highly-gifted artist, is the on.y col ect
likeness Of Washington ever published 1t ha.
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
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WASHINGTON PARK
CUSTlS, who says, 'it is faithful representa-
ton of the celebrated orignal,' and to CHIEF
JUSTICE TANEY of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, who says: ''As a work Of art its
excellence andbeaGty 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 yboyhood,
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
and features Of the face" And says SENATOR
CASS, it is life-like representation of the great
original. PRESIDENT FILLMORE says. ''the
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
print to my mind is more remarkable than any
other have seen, for presenting the WHOLE indi-
/
the noble and dignified repose Of air and manner,
which all who ever saw him considered a marked
characteristic Of the illustrious man it conmem-
orates"
