PICTURE OF GEN. GRANT-We are
indebted TO the publisher and artist j.
ii. littlefieId. for copy of the engrav-
ing OF his portrait of General Grant, ex-
ecuted by II. Gugler. German, who
attained decided celebrity in Europe be-
fore practising his art in this country.
As specimen Of steeI-line work it is. saws
the Philadelphia Press, we believe, not
inferior TO anything of its size and kind
ever published in America. As like
ness it is unexceptionable, being endow-
ed with a vitality, an animation, and
spirit such as is generally characterized
by the word speaking" The micro
scope shows this work to be the result of
singular and beautiful accuracy - the
very perfection of tinish-while the whole
regarded at glance, is remarkable for
holiness of effects. The shadows of
the face, the gray tint of the beard, and
the liquid "glisten' ofthe eyes are caught
with a success which can only be desig-
mated as "color" The earnestness of
expression, as of man intently listening
and just ready to deliver a spirited an
swer is in this portrait remarkable, and,
as such, has been much commented on.
Subscriptions received by o. c. Dow at
his jewelry store.
