The Only True Portrait o Washing

lust PUBLISHED, T. B. We!ch's magnifi-
e cent portrait of WASHINGTON, Engra-
we'd (bv permission) from Stuart's only original
portrait in the Athcneum, Boston
This superb picture, Engraved under the super
intendence of Thomas Sully, ESD, III, 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 10 its fidelity, we re-
fer to the letters of the adopted son of Washing
ton, GEORGE WASHINGTON PARx CUSTrs, who SAYS,
ssit is faithful reprcsr ton Of the eel LIBERATED
original and to Chief Justice Tuncy of the SUI
premc Court of the United Statcs who says, GAS
a work of art, its excellence and beauty must
strike every one who it; and ii is no less hap
py in its likeness the Father of his country. 1t
was my good fortune to have seen him in the days
my boyhood, and his whole appearance is yet
strongly impressed on 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 lie-like representa-
ton Of the great original. President Fillmore says,
" the work appears to me to 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 dgnitied repose of air and manner, which all
who ever saw him considered marked character
istic of the illustrious man it commemorates.'
