PORTRAITS OF WASHINGTON
AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT AT THE
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
Opportunity Afforded for Study Of the
Work of Early American
Engravers.

Portraits of Washington, indeed every
thing relating to the career of that great
man. are of interest to collectors as well as
to students. Recognizing this fact. the
Library Of Congress. in pursuance OF Its
policy of making this great national coIlec-
ton as available as possible for the In
formation of the public, has just arranged
ali exhibit of the portraits Of Washington.
This collection takes the place of the one
relating to the District of Columbia, and
which for several months past occupied the
cases in the pavilion of the print depart
ment and the adjoining hall.
The District exh bit was the first attempt
made to bring together specimens of the
early imprints of the books relating to the
District and prints and maps. and general
appreciation was expressed.
In order to get the material for the Dis
trict collection Mr.. A. j. Parsons who is
in charge of the print department, assem-
bled from the various departments of the
library specimens of its treasures. In this
way not only a large but representative
collection of District matter was brought
together
Mr. Parsons has followed the same course
in regard to the portraits of Washington.
which are now in the cases and properly
labeled. that all necessary information
is ava. a.labe. While the collection does not
include all the material in the library. for
the reason that If that had been done 1t
would have been unduly extended, there
are three hundred and twenty-five portraits
on exhibition, and they include the separate
prints well as those which are found In
books.
The earliest portrait bears date of 1I75,
and from that time the productions were
numerous. Aside from the opportunity
which such an exhibit gives of studying
the features of this great man at various
periods In his career. the student of the
work of the early American engravers Will
be enabled to follow down the line and ex-
anime specimens of the skill of practically
every one of note. The arrangement is such
as to facilitate such study.
