at least two hundred years old, and
there is reason to believe that it was
made during the life time of Raphael;
perhaps by the great master himself.

tombstone family for more than a CEN
fury. Their home was in Charleston,
s. c., and in the forehead of the vir-
gin is a small hole in the canvas made
by the bayonet of a Union soldier
during the Civil war.

is remarkably well preserved. The
colors are clear and bright and there
are no cracks in the canvas. The
work is a most faithful copy of the
original, both in drawing and color.
1t is about two by three feet in size
and mounted in a handsome Floren-
worth a careful examination. The
frame is of deliberately carved wood
heavily gilded, and was secured after
a careful search extending over a
period of six months. The picture
will remain at the library for about
two weeks.
