Gen. Hanpton's Portrait

"WADE HAMPTON, GOVERNOR OF SouTu CAR
oLINA," is the subject of an exquisite nearly
1life,size engraving, just published (and now
ready by our euterprsing friends, Walker,
Evans y Cogswell, Charleston. S. G. We con-
graduate these gentlemen on the grand success
they have made of so noble subject. AS a
work OF art 1t stands unrivalled, out still its
chief merit lays in its being a hfe-hke portrait.
IL Is the first product, on so large scale, of n
new and secret process based on photography,
having the advantage of great ruthfuincss. As
the photograph has su perseded the oil-paintine,
because OF itt exact reproduction of the subject,
so this process is bound to take the place of steel
engraving, on any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for result-wc
mean for tho production of portraits. What
the people want in q portrait is truth they do
not wish the artists conception of man, but
the face and features of the man rs he is-and
by no means eau this grand result be better at
, tanned than by the means of photography, and
this neEprocess based thereon. But while these
great d BRIDGES are secured, il admits of the
embellishments of art, and portrait is pro-
duced possessing all the .ruthfuness of n
photograph, with the artistic effect of the
steel engraving. The publishers have been ex-
tremely fortunate in their selection of the mode
by which thy give to all admirers of the great
statesman ths noble, generous, manly features,
which speak 50 plainly the q eat mind. elevated
Those wh' worked for the grand cause
champion aud Home Rule" who have paid Ia K
es to the government of their choice, can now
place this pidure at their fresides, rs they have
placed its subject in their hearts. 1t must be-
come one of the "Penatcs'' of South Carolina
Those who sympathized with the gallant little
State in the struggle against such tremendous
odds, will be pleased to have this portrait in
their homes--a glorious memento of q peaceful
noble effort OF liberty-loving people to redeem
themselves from oppression and misrulc.
