.PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.
LSNGRAVED (by pemission) from Stuarts
W ONLY original portrait, in the Atheneum,
Boston,.
This superb picture, Engraved under the su-
perintendence of Thomas Sully, Esq, the emf
nent and highly-gfted artist, is the only correct
likeness OF Washington ever published. It has
been characterized as the greatest work of art
ever produced in this country. Asto its fidelity,
we refer to the letters Of the adopted son Of
Washington GORGE WASHINGTON PARK
CUSTIS, who says, ''it is faithful representa-
tion of the celebrated original" and to CHIEF
JUSTICE TANEY Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, who says GAS a work Of artits
excellence aud beauty 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 ltr-
tune to have seen him in the daysof 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 LIKEAEss, represent
and features of the face." And says SENATOR
CASS, it is life7like representation Of the great
original. PRESIDENT FILLMORE says. "the
work appears to me to have been admirably exc
cuted and'EMNENTLF 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-
viduality of the original portrait together with
thenobie and digniied repose of air andmanner,
which all who ever saw him considered marked
oharacteristic Of the illustrious man it commcm.
