Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Engraved Portraits of Washington: Notices of the Originals and Brief Biographical, Sketches of the Painters The present work, although somewhat broader in its scope than others of a similar character, was compiled simply as a Text-book for the Washington collector. To an American no other portrait can possess the interest and significance which will be always attached to that of Washington; and if in contemplating it, we feel impressed with the nobility of his character, the dignity of his manhood, his truth and patriotism, what better page can we study and what better life can we imitate? The portraits of Washington are fortunately not restricted to a single example nor limited to the individual painter, and while extending over the greater portion of his life, cover more particularly the years devoted to his country. If it is true that a portrait is a sort of general history of the person it represents, how complete must be that history when fully presented in a regular series, and brought through the medium of the graver to our quiet and careful consideration. Quite a number of collections of the engraved portraits of Washington have been gathered and some of considerable importance, but as yet no system of arrangement has been attempted by which the prints, although always interesting in themselves, could be intelligently studied either historically or artistically.
