Nothing but the love of glory and
his respect for you could induce him
TO cross the seas as his business here
far exceeds his leisure, and his numer-
Gus and gratifed friends make him

HoudOn obtained special permission

his lifetime. Now 1t seems as If every
method OF portraiture-except Of
course photography Ahad been used.
There are drawings, sketches, studies,
oil paintings, water colors, medals,
coins, postage stamps, sllhouettes and
statues and busts In marble, bronze
and wood.
OF course these likenesses do not
all look alike, and topic of perennial
Interest is: What did George Wash
ington really look like2 There are
three representations Of Washington
that have been general favOrites and
hold their popularity. The favoritr pro-
fiie has been Houdon's, with Stuart's
canvasses for the full face and Trum-
bulls for the figure. Houdon's statue
at Richmond, Va, gives us the mill
tary profile" Stuart's full-face por-
trait is cdlIed the presidential head"
Trumbull certainly should have known
him well enough TO give IS his bodily
appearance. Stuart is said to have ad-
mltted that the Houdon marble Is SUI
perior to his canvas as likeness. add
ing that It was the only one that was
better; he held that the defects in his
own work were due TO the poorly fitted
false teeth which Washington wore.
1t is agreed by Washlngton's con-
temporaries that his figure had certain
marked peculiaritles. He was shallow
through the chest, did not grow small
at the waist, had long legs and very
large hands. For the rest. he stood a
little over six feet and weighed be-
tween 21O and 300 pounds--an ex-
ceedingly able-bodied citizen.
These bodily peculiarities are all
faithfully brought out In Houdon's s
statue. The famous French sculptor
took careful body measurements OF
his subject and a mould of his face.
From this mould he took a plaster
mask, which he took back with him
to France; copy Of II is preserved
In the mint at Philadelphia. Houdon
was perfectly trained aud competent
technician. He produced easily and
abundantly In marble and bronze to
the satisfaction Of his contemporaries.
So there seems no reason to doubt
that his statue OF George Washington
(which hns many times been repro
duced--is an admirable reproduction
in marble Of the Father Of His
Country.
Yet the controversy over the best
likeness" OF Washington never dies.
For example. Paul Bartlett. the
sculptor. said OF the Houdon statue /:
81 had always thought that Houdon
was selected to make the portrait
statue OF Washington on account Of
the general desire that his lmportnnt
statue should be by the best sculptor
of the time. and that HoudOn was con-
sidered as such. II has been a dis

So much for the Houdon statue of
George Washington.
And now for another statue Of
George Washington - this one a
mystery.
It Is q colossal wooden figure. 915
feet high and weighing 800 pounds.
Just now 1t stands In the basement of
the city hall of Wilmington, Del,
among the belongings Of the Historical
Society of Delaware. George Washing
ton Is carved In Continental uniform
blue coat, faced with buff; buff
trousers and high Hessian boots. Yes /;
the statues In cOlors, and they are
still quite distinct. And it's a statue
Of George Washington. What's more,
it's q good one-an excellent likeness
and an inspiring figure. Pinned upon
the statue is a printed card stating
that 1t formerly stood in Bowling
Green, New York.
Did It ever stand In Bowling Green
The City History club of New York
city cannot find any trace Of such a
statue. The art commission In the
city hall of New York has no official
knowledge of 1t. Yet tradition is that
the statue was placed in Bowling
Green in 1892. replacing the leaden
statue of George III of England. and
stood there until 1885 or even later.
Here Is the chronology of the stat.
ue. so far as It is known at present !:
1845-SoId at a New York municipal
auction sale for $3.50 to a Mr..
Jacques, South Norwalk. Conn.
186O-At the death of Mr.. Jacques
In 1860 Mr.. Sch'ff became its owner.
Next owner, Antonio Decorate; next
owner Frank Theobald, tobacco dealer,
New York.
1890 Surmounted arch across
Fifth avenue In New YOrk's
celebration of the centenary Of WASH
lngton's Inauguration. Illustrations in

tried to sell II to the New. York His
torical society for $1,000. Incidentally
Lehman used the statue as an ad-
vertisement.
l913-Stood in front Of a barber
shop at st. Nicholas avenue and One
Hundred and Elghty-Second street.
New York.
l919-Found In a Junk shop and
bought by General Coleman Du POnt
for $500 TO give to the Historical
Society OF Delaware.
