The fact that TOO frequently it tran
spires in American history that no
accurate and authentic portrait Of her
great men is faithfully preserved has
caused a number of the devoted ad-
mirers of General Robert p. Lee to
interest themselves to cause a perfect
picture OF the great general to be
made and TO be preserved for all fu.
tire history.
This work, after a lapse OF forty
years, is now under way by the John
A. Lowell Bank Note company Of Bos-
ton, who are using for this purpose
the exact photograph made at Gen
eral Lees residence in Richmond a
few days after the surrender, which
picture has always been considered
by the Lee family and friends as the
most perfect likeness ever taken OF
the general at that period.

that it will thus be preserved for
