Msssrs. TlsEnOr Fields beg to announce that they
have arranged with the eminent sugrIvsr and painter
Mr. WIN. T. Marshall, for the publication Of his line
engraved portrait Of Abraham Lincoln.
This engraving is AFTER Mr. MGrshAl's own painting,
and IL executed in pure II IL the largest head ever
engraved In this manner and BY far the best sngrAv
Ing ever executed In America and will take its place
among the few great works which nea art has given
to the world.
The pubishers however, do not put this portrait OF
Mr.. Lincoln before the public simply as nne work Of
ART for possesses the still greater value Of being
true Likeness Of the Maryred President, representing
him 10 his best aspects, and in manner different
from all others that 1t may be considered essentially
Mr. Marshals own. The publishers believe It will be
accepted the standard portrait Of Mr. Lincoln, and
grounds for that belief they invite attention to the
hearty concentrations 1t has received from persons
who knew Mr.. Lincoln Intimately, all expressing thor
ough satisfaction with It In this regard.
The publishers respestfully invite attention to the
following as among the many eommsndations bestowed
upon the picture:

| It was never my privilege to know Abraham Lincoln
personally, and his various pictures have
failed to satisfy my conception OF him. They might be
so far as outline and detail were concerned but to me
they always seemed to lack great essential Of
tire Portrait-the Hformine spirit Of the within
This hnd In harshas portrait. The old harsh linei
and unmisakabe mouth arc there, without nAttery
compromise but all and through ALL the pathetic
sadness the wise simplicity and tender humanity Of the
man are visible the face Of the speaker at detys
burg and the writer Of the second gura The emi.
neny successful artist deserves the thanks Of ali who
