PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.


r. B. WEIGHTS MAGNIFICENT
PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.
Engraved (by permission) from Stuart's only ORR
ginal portrait, in the Atheneum, Boston.
SFHIS superb picture, Engraved under the SUI
Il perintendence 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 ever produced in this country. AS to its IL
deity, we refer to the letters of the adopted son
of Washington, GEORGE WAsHINGToN PARK Gus
IT'S, who says, sit is faithful representation OF
the celebrated original - and to CHIEF JUSTICE
fancy of the Supreme Court of the United States,
who says, "As a work of art its excellence and
beauty must strike every one who sees 1T and 1t
is no less happy in its 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 ap-
pearance is yet strongly impressed on my memory.
The portrait you have issued appears to me to be
an exact likeness, representing perfectly the eX-
preston as well as the form and features of the
face" And says SENATOR CAss, it is a tJe-tke
representation Of the great original. PRESIDENT
FILLMORE says, "the work appears to me to have
been admirably executed and eminently worthy OF
the patronage of the public" Says MARcHANT
the eminent portrait painter, and the pupil OF
Stuart, ssyour print TO my mind is more remark
able than any other have seen, for presenting the
achole individuality of the original portrait togeth
er with the noble and dgnifed repose of air and
manner, which all who ever saw him considered
a marked Characteristic of the ilustrious man it
commentaries"
