T1NGRAvED (by permission) from SIpart's
II ONLY original portrait in the Ath.hcum,
Boston.
perintendence 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
Washington-GEORGE WASHINGTON PARK
CUSTIS, 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 aud beauty must strike every one who
sees it: and it is no less happy in iS likeness 10
the Father of his country. Ii was fIiS good ht-
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 L'KE..Ess, represent
ing perfectly the expression as well as the form
and features of the face" And says SENATOR
CASS, it is life-lke representation Of the great
original. PRESIDENT FILLMORE says "the
work appears to me to have been admirably exc
cuted and EMINENTLY worthy of the patronage Of
the public" Says MARCHANT the eminent
portrait painter, and the pupil OF St1art, "your
print. to my mind is more remarkable than any
other have seen for presenting the WHOLE indi-
vidualty Of the original portrait, together with
the noble and dignifed repose of air and manner,
which all who ever saw him considered marked
Characteristic Of the illuGtrious man it commcm'
CRATES"
