Historic Painting
Calendars Feature

A large copy, done in the tri-color
process, of the Ferris picture of Wash
ington and his wife. THE Darkest
Hour" chosen by the Swartzell Rheem
& Hensey Company as their calendar
for the new year is one Of the most am
bilious of all of those which have
made their appearance.
Ferris is a well-known PAINTER of his
toric incidents, and has here chosen for
his theme what was probably the
darkest hour in the life OF Washington,
the dread moment of indecision, wherein
ne contemplated withdrawal from the
army, following the awful winter at
Valley Forge. Throughout the whole
experience, his faithful wife stood
stanchly by him, leaving the comforts
Of Mt. Vernon to share the privatiOns
of winter quarters with her husband.
The picture is authentic, particularly
as to setting, and is reproduced in the
original colors.
