The engraving, 2sxS2 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Picnic on the
Fourth of July
The painting took a whole year, and is con-
sdered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lille NJ. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years. by
| three eminent artists-John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass-
ed proof Of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
| copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art cvor engraved in America.
