COPY by Marie, OF Paris, OF the celebrated, rare
and unique painting Of that title by MurilIo
The legend of the picture is that just before the
crucf9xion Our Lord took handkerchief and
pressed it to his face while wearing the crown OF
thorns The picture of his face was impressed
uuon the handkerchief, which was preserved by
the pious. This painting is supposed to be al
copv of the handkerchief One peculiar feature
Of the picture is the eyes-appearing both closed
and open. The open appearance is visible only
on close scrutiny, when the pupils of the eyes
seem TO be gazing hcaycnward. II attracted
much attention.
Mr.. VIM. Nash made unique and beautiful
exhibit in the way Of sorrento carvings, which
attracted much attention.
There were several other exhibitors whose
names we were unable to learn; and we very
much regret that many of the exhibitors of both
pictures and wax and other work failed to place
their names upon their pieces.
