Gen. Hampton's Portrait

"WADE HAMPTON, GOVERNOR OF SoUTu CAR
| oLINA,' is the subject of an exquisite nearly
life size engraving, just published land now
ready by our enterprising friends, Walker
Evans & Cogswell, Charleston. S. c. We con-
gratulate these gentlemen on the grand success
| they have made of so noble subject. AS a
| work Of art it stands unrivalled, but still its
chief merit lays in its being tfe-iike portrait
1t is the first product, so large a scale, of n
new and secret process based on photography,
having the advantage of great truthfutless. As
| the photograph has superseded the oil-paintinS,
because OF its exact reproduction of the subject,
so this process is bound to take the place of steel
| engraving, or any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for result-we
mean for the production of portraits. What
the people want in q portrait is truth they do
not wish the artists conception of a man, but
the face and features of the man as he is-and
by no means can this grand result be better at
tanned than by the means of photography and
this new process based thereon. But while these
great advantages secured, it admits of the
embellishments Of art, and portrait is pro-
duced possessing all the truthfulness of a
photograph, with the artistic effect of the
steel engraving. The publishers have been e1-
tremely fortunate in their selection of the mode
by which they give to oil admirers of the great
statesman the noble, generous manly features,
which speak 50 plainly the 6, eat mind, elevated
feeling, and generous heart of Wade Hampton.
Those who worked for the grand cause,
champion and Home Rule" who have paid tax
es to the government of their choice, can now
place this picture at their firesidcs, rs they have
placed its subject in their hearts. 1t must be-
come one of the "Penates' 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 peaceful,
noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem
themselves from oppression and misrule.
1t will be sold by subscription only, at So per
