MsssrS. Tiekuor Fields beg to announce that they
have arranged with the eminent engraver and painter
Mr. WIN. Marshall for the publication Of his line
engraved portrait Of Abraham Lincoln.
ThisengrRving Is atter Mr. Marshalls own painting,
and Is executed In purolne is the largest head ever
engraved In this manner and Is by far the best grav
ing ever executed in America and will take Its place
among the few great works which neal has given
to the world.
The publishers, however, do not put this portrait Of
Mr. Lincoln before the public simply as a hue work Of
art for It possesses the still greater value Of being

him in his best aspects, and IN manner so different
from all others that 1t may be considered essentially

accepted the standard portrait Of Mr. Lincoln and as
grounds for that belief they invite attention to the
hearty eommeudations it has received from persons
who knew Mr. Lincoln Intimately, all expressing thor
ough satisfaction with 1t in this regard.
The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following asamong the many commendatIons bestowed
upon the picture:

1t was never my privilege 10 know Abraham Lincoln
personally and his various pictures have more or less
failed to satisfy my conception Of him They might be-
and probably were, what called good llkeuesses
so far as outline sad detail concerned but to me
they always seemed to lack great essential OF an en-
tire poTtrait-the Informing spirit Of the within.
This find in Marshall portrait. The old harsh lines
and unmistakable mouth are there without nasry or
sadness the wise simplicity and tender humanity Of the
visible. 1t 10 thof of the speaker at dettys-
nently successful artist deserves the thanks Of ali who
