Mr. WIN. B. Marshall, for the publication Of his line
engraved portrait OF Abraham Lincoln.

and Ssxeeuted In pureno. II Is the largest head
engraved In this manner and Is by far tho best engrav-
Ing executed In AmereA and will take Its place
among the few great works which ueal art has given
10 the world.
The publishers, however, do not put this portrait OF
Mr. Lincoln before the public simply a fine work Of
ART for It possesses the still greater value Of being
true likeness Of the Maryred President, representing
him In his best aspects, and In a manner so different
from all others that It may be considered essentially

accepted the standard portrait Of Mr. Lincoln and as
grounds for that belief they invite attention to the
hearty Communications 1t has received from persons
who knew Mr.. Lincoln Intimately all expressing thor
ough satisfaction with II In this regard.
Tho publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following. as samong the many concentrations bestowed
upon the picture:
