NJ Holiday, painted by Mr.. Thomas &.
Corner. OF Baltimore, which has been
placed I'm the gallery Of Nirginia's Cover
nors and other celebrities. To those per-
sons here who recall Colonel Holiday
as he was when Governor, the picture
does not seem 10 represent him as he was
then, the face Is smaller, the features not
so market. and the general impression
made by the portrait Is of a man OF less
imposing presence than Governor Iiolli-
day.
The painting. however. has marked
merit, and the Baltimore American says
Of Il:
THE painting H. life-slze. and the effect
OF the old Confederate soldier. as por-
trayed by Mr. Corner. with his military
bearing ana judicial features, is unusually
forceful. and the strong, fine face Of the
man in the picture concentrates the
thoughts OF the most casual observer
Admiration for the ability of the artist
Is forgotten In admiration for the cnaf-
acter Of the man he has painted. As "A
character-study. this picture OF Governor

Governor Holiday was elected Gov
ernor OF Virginia In 1873. and for many
years was leader of his party in the State.
He has now retired from active life and
spends all his time AT home with his fam
lily. He served throughout the war IN
der the Confederate flag. and lost his
right arm while fighting for the Lost
Cause In the portrait he is represented
as standing, with his hand resting upon
a book on a table by his side. The empty
coat sleeve is arranged so ingeniously
that he has the appearance OF having his
right hand behind him Every one who
has seen the portrait OF the Ex-Governor
has been struck with its resemblance to
Andrew Jackson"
