PORTRAIT IN STATE HOUSE
Excellent Picture of Former Gov
ernor r.. p. Robinson is Finished

Without pomp or ceremony,
large portrait of former Governor
Robert P. Robinson will be placed
in the State House at Dover some
time this week. The lack of cere-
mony about the hanging is at the
request of Mr.. Robinson, who has
Stunned publicity in this respect,
and has proceeded with his plans
of quietly shipping the painting to
Dover and having it placed before
the public is aware of its presence.
The portrait, which stands about
five feet high and is four feet in
width was painted by j. Mcclure
Hamilton, internationally famous
portrait painter and a cousin of
Mr.. Robinson. 1t has been a Gus
tom of long standing for Cover
nors after retiring from office to
present their portraits to the
State for hanging in the State
House. Some have presented their
portraits with elaborate ceremon-
les, while others did so quietly and
unobstrusively. The Robinson por-
trait was painted during sittings
at Mr.. Robinson's home in New
port, while Mr.. Hamilton whose
mother was a sister to Mr.. Robin
sons mother was in this country
on a visit Mr. Hamilton came
East for the express purpose of
painting his cousins portrait.
Among the persons whose por-
traits Mr.. Hamilton has painted
during the last quarter of a CEN
tury are rulers of Europe, Princes
and Princesses, famous generals
and equally famous civilians The
painter, although 76 years old, car
ries out commissions and at the
present time has several more por-
traits of widely known personages
to complete.
