A B r A II A NJ LII N COL N.

Msssrs Teknor Fields beg to announee that they
have arranged with the eminent sngrAvsr and painter
Mr.. WIN. Marshall for the publication Of his line
engraved portrait Of Abraham Lincoln.
This sengrAving 10 snsr Mr. MarshaIls own painting,
and is executed in purelns 10 largest head ever
engraved in this manner snd s by far the best sugrav
ing ever executed in America, and will take s place
among the few great works which insal art has given
to the world.
The publishers, however do not put this portrait Of
Mr.. Lincoln before the public simply Is nns work Of
ART for It possesses the still greater value Of being q
true likeness Of the Martyred President representing
him in his best aspects, and in q manner so different
from all others that It may be considered essentially
Mr. Marshallsown. The publishers believe 1t will be
accepted the standard portrait Of Mr. Lincoln and a.
grounds for that belief they invite attention to the
hearty Communications II has received from persons
who knew Mr. Lincoln Intimately all expressing thor.
oush satisfaction with It in this regard.
The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following, among the many eommsndstiOns bestowed
upon the picture;

MEssRs. TIcksoR 4 PHLDs-sIRs: l have known
President Llncoln for period Of quite thirty years
twenty years of which he and myself Law psrners
physically and mentally especially since isS4 when
he fairly commenced looming up In the nation have
Seen S I1a % SesU with him In every mood and under al
SIS iN' anu loa-
lures are deeply Impressed on my memory. Mr.. VIM
E. Marsha's engraved portrait Of him has been shown
me, published BY your house, and have studied the
picture sufficiently long to form an opinion oft nart
Ia the expression Of idea embodied in fact which at
once translates itself to the Intelligent observer
this pietare is work Of the highest art The organs
and features Of the face almost sxAeare true to
nature. In THE portrait the artist has caught Mr. Lin
coin In kindness tenderness, and reflection combined
and In my humble Judgment this is the best portrait
Of Nj Lincoln have seen. Asa awort Of high art il
will take its proper place among the finest In America
Those who never had the pleasure Of seeing the
may rest assured that the expression Of organ and foa
tuTe and mood OF the man well caught expTeased
and preserved am pleased to know you are soon to
make the picture public through It, hope universal
sale Yours truly, W. II. HRRHDoN.
