National Affords Opportunity to Meet
Historical Personages Face to Face
By Florence S. Berrymon

To meet face to face the great
and near-great Of past centuries, is
a thrilling experience that gives
permanent appeal to such an exhi-
bition as the National Gallery opened
last Sunday, selected from its own
collections. 1t includes not only
portraits Of Important historical
personages which the gallery holds
as custodian for a future national
portrait gallery, but nearly twice
as many more, practically all by
American artists. OF approximately
10 paintings on view, only one is
q loan, 1.-THE Peacemskers," by
George P. A. Healy, recently pur-
chased by President Truman for the
White House. This Is a group por-
trait of President Lincoln, Gen.
Grant, Gen. Sherman and Admiral
Porter holding a conference in the
cabin on the River Queen cruising
down the Potomac in March, 1865.
The major interest in this portrait
exhibition is personality rather than
esthetics. The personal appeal is
heightened by a label beside every
picture giving the subjects biog-
raphy. Some Of the portraits are
admirable works of art. But all too
often great people are painted by
mediocre artists, a commonplace sit
uation throughout American history
to the present. The strongest group
in the current show, from the stand
point of art, is that composed of 16
portraits by Gilbert Stuart, which
introduce us to some important and
attractive people Of the late 18th
and early 10Th centuries, but not to
any celebrities Of the first rank.
One cannot quarrel with this Sc
lection, however, for Stuart is an
outstanding example Gin our art
history of q flrst-rate talent ex-
pended on some of the greatest per-
sonalities of his day. His portraits
Of Washington. Jefferson and otner
leaders are so well known that 1t is
interesting, for q change, to see
likenesses of men and women whose
names in most instances are less
familiar, but who were people of
consequence in their time.

James Waldo FaWcett, stamp
editor of The Star on vacation, re-
ports post ofiice ofncials in Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida will be glad to accom-
modate collectors Of postmarks orig
mating in their cities.
One postal official suggested col
lectors use this formula In writing:
'"The inclosed covers are Of phila-
telic value, to be placed in q col
lector's album. Please postmark
them as you would for your
own collection-neatly. clearly, un-
|smudged, with the stamps untorn
and unstripped. Thank you" Har-
risonburg, Va; Charleston, s. c.,
and Savannah, Ca, gave special
assurances Of such cooperation.
Mr.. Fawcett saw beautiful ma
chine cancellations in Clifton Forge,
Va; Raleigh, Durham and Fayette-
vile, N. c., and Bennettsville, s. c.,
among many others. He was re-
minded that many post ofnces carry
place names Of the Old World; i.e.,
Edinburgh, Verona, Strasbourg and
Paris in Virginia, Switzerland in
South Carolina and Athens and
Rome in Georgia. Bethesda, Nd,
has an opposite number In Bethesda,
IS. c., but there is no post ofiice in
the latter.
Washington and 23 other post
|ofnces have special cancellation dies
being used in participation with the
stamp centenary, Postmaster Cen
eral Hannegan has announced. The
die carries prominently across the
top: 1917 Centenary - 1947, and
across the bottom: U. 8. Postage
Stamps. To the left Of the eagle,
wings spread, Is this legend: Inter-
national PhiIatelic Exhibition, and
on the right: New York, N. Y, May
II to IS, 1947. Other cities parti-
cipating are Chicago, New York,
Los Angeles, Atlanta, Jacksonville,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Or
leans, Portland, Salt Lake City,
Omaha, Denver, Buffalo, Cleveland,

Of the Stuart subjects shown. He
made the original design for the
United States Capitol, also designed
the Octagon House and Tudor Place.
He was not q professional architect,
but, like jefferson, had given much
time to architectural study and had
innate talent.
Undoubtedly the portraits Stuart
painted In Ireland are among his
outstanding work: Counsellor John
Dunn and Luke White Of the Irish
Parliament, DR.. william Hartigan, .
noted surgeon of Dublin, said to
have saved Stuart's right arm from
amputation, and his wife, Betsy
Hartigan; also her brother, George
Pollock, who had come to New York,
became a partner Of Richard Yates,
a merchant, and married his daugh-
ter. The last two, also painted by
Stuart, are likewise on view, and
other members of the Yates family
also are memoralized in the Ma
tional Gallery. After painting the
Pollocks and their connections in
Ireland and New York, Stuart wrote
in 1894 to his uncle, ITO their house
I am indebted for more civilities
than to the world beside" From
the standpoint of today, Stuart paid
this debt in full by immortalizing
these people with exceptionally fine
portraits.
Pocahonfas Is Earliest One
Pocahontas, painted by an un-
known British artist in London In
1916, is the earliest portrait shown.
1t is a historical treasure, undoubt-
edly familiar to every one from re-
production in school histories.
The paintings are hung more or
less chronologically. There are pre-
Revolutionary portraits by Wollas-
ton, Robert Feke, Samuel King,
jeremiah Theus, Copley (represent-
ed with the superb Henry Lau-
rens") and Matthew Pratt.
Charles Wilson Peale's straight
forward likenesses of Gen. William
Moultrie in buff and blue, and Ben
jamin Harrison, jr., a paymaster in
the Continental Army, are among
the very few Revolutionary por-
traits. One of Peale's sons, Rem
brandt Peale, when II years old,
painted George Washington from
life (in 1889 and made and sold
replicas throughout his long life, not
only of this, but combinations Of
it with life portraits by others. One
of the 10 replicas Of his original life
portrait Is shown.
Famous names are more numerous
in the 10th century portraits, many
painted by artists who were COM
petent but not in Stuart's class.
James Reid Lambdins portrait of
John Marshall is vital, but he did
not do so well with Daniel Webster.
vanderlyns Monroe" too, is fine.
OF several by George P. A. Healy,
the life-size portrait of Lincoln is
repeated (reduced in size) in THE
Peacemakers" previously mentioned.
Henry Clay can be studied in por-
traits by Healy and Audubon.
Portrait of Early Sculptor
Particularly interesting is John
Neagle's portrait of William Rush
Of Philadelphia, our first important
sculptor, who began as a carver of
ship figureheads and went on to
portrait busts and large allegorical
figures in wood. Another Philadel-
phia artist, James Passmore Smith,
a miniaturist, is depicted with his
