AN OLD PORTRAIT OF e.. W

Through the efforts of Robert C..
Winthrop, now in Europe, the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society will come
INTO possession of IN exact copy of a
painting of George Washington which
has unusual historic interest. The
original was intended for the Stadthold-
er in 1880, and was captured with Lau-
rens by Captain Keppel, of the British
navy. Laurens had been appointed
Minister Plenipotentlary to the Hague
in 1873, and was on his way to Holland
when the capture was made. He was
sent to the tower, where he remained
for o han year. The portrait was
claimed by the captor as a personal
prize, and presented by him to his
uncle, Admiral Lord Keppel. 1t then
became one of the treasures of Qulden-
ham Park, the seat of the Earl of Abe
marie, present head of the keppel fam
ilv in Norfolk. The name of the artist
IS WHICH Is NOT u WdtleI VI
moment, since the portrait is not an
exhibition of the highest order of merit.
Mr.. Winthrop had Albemarle's cordial
permission to see the painting, and, sub
s~equently, his authority to make a copy
of it. A photograph was taken and
magnitied to the dimensions Of the orig
inal. The copy was then finished by
a skilled artist, in oils and ~colors, in
the immediate presence of the original,
SO as to leave no room for the slightest
discrepancy between them. Both Mr..
Winthrop and Earl Albemarle, who
have taken warm interest in the prog
ress of the work, certify that it is a
perfect fac-simile of the portrait Just
as it was painted for the Stakeholder
and captured by Keppel, nearly a CEN
tury ago. Even the frame is to be re-
produced in kind. The whole is q gift
to the society from Mr.. Duncan. late
of Rhode Island, now resident in Lon
don.
