fine conception of the man. with possibly
a little Gallo finish. but probably not more
than Jones himself acquired at the gay
French court of Marie Antoinette, where
he was such a favorite. In much the same
manner ls the relief of the hero on the
Dupre medal Here there is no possible
trace Of that mere harihood and dash
which the English show in the caricatures
of Jones as the one impossible pirate of the
period.
The pictures of the conquerUr of the
Scraps as a pirate are particularly anus
ing, as are also some of the romantic and
idealistic impressions OF the man. There
is in them no attempt to portray the man,
but merely to get together either the nor
rors of piracy or the laurels of fame.
The pictures in the Granville Kane col
lection are very interestingly supplemented
by the library manuscripts Here are
shown Hancock's letter transmitting the
order of Congress making Jones a captain,
and others showing his rapid rise In IA
vor and the great dependence the colonies
came to feel for him. Letters are displayed
from Robert Morris, Esek Hopkins and one
written to Jones by Franklin and signed
by him and the other commissioners at
Paris, John Adams and Arthur Lee.
The Journals of Congress with the pages
exposed on which mention is made OF
Jones are also shown. but probably the
most interesting to all. who, while not
great naval heroes, are yet human beings
with human emotions, are some of the

make an exhibit that fills four large cases.
Conspicuous among the prints are series
of about thirteen. catalogued as belonging
to the c. J. Motto type. This painter lived
and worked in the last quarter Of the eight
zenith century and various engravers have
reproduced his painting of Jones.
The Motto Painting.
The great hero of the Scraps engagement
is represented as a rather bluff and hardy
seaman, with a certain thoughtful. and per-
haps implacable, expression He is plainly
a man of power and decision but for some
reason curiousIy reminiscent of other French
heroes of the period. He might be- as far
the prints show, any one OF the leaders
of the French revolution, and 1t is very
evident that Notte, while painting the
American sailor saw him with very Gallo
eyes and made him after the types of his
own nation.
In sharp contrast to this series are the
prints after the type of Charles Wilson
Peale, 1741-1S27, some sixteen or more en-
cravings, which present Jones as an I'M
mistakable Englishman. He has in these
Peale prints none of the sparseness, gaunt-
ness of a French revolutionist hungering
for liberty and equality, but is represented
as a sleek well-fed Snglishman, with the
full rounded cheeks of a beefeater, and
with q pompous realization of his dignity

he so unremittingly harried. Some of the

BUYS. 1724-1SO1 There are six of these
latter prints, two quite large, and here
again a new impression of Jones is obtain
ed, quite distinct from any previously OBJ
tained Moreover, in some of the prints,
after the manner OF painters now unknown,
catalogued as anonymous or miscellaneous,
are found Joneses who are not American,
or Scotch, or French, or English, but dis
tinctly German. The slight, agile, roman
tic Jones has become, In the hands of the
German artist, broad, stocky and almost
phlegmatic.
The Houdin Print
Possibly the print which seems most to
reveal the great naval conqueror as he
really was is that from Jean Antoine Hou-
don, 1740-1S2S. The bust from (which It is
taken is now owned by the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts. This is indeed a

allowance for the personal equation of the
artist, If one studies hard, he may make
out that the same man sat for the French
and the English pictures, but 1t is hard to
realize.
The Grignion and Moreau Prints.
Clearly showing the influence of the land
Jones so much loved and in which he spent
so many years, are the engravings after
Chares Grignion Q754-1soD and Jean
Michel Moreau, jr. 1741-1s1D. The Greg
MON print Is large. possibly twelve by six
teen inches, and represents the hero with
the symbolism Of the navy and certain
expression of force which is explanatory of
his skill. Both the Grignion and the Mo
reau types however, are plainly French.
If 1t were the aim of the owner to show
that portraiture is not SO much a matter
of the features of the sitter, but of the
personality and qualities of the artist, he
could not have done better than to show
the types of Jones pictures after Jacobus
