The frontispiece in the bound volume of this book, is an exact reproduction, by the Gutekunst phototype process, of the obverse of the Washington medal executed by Charles C. Wright, about the year 1850, and particularly described on page 34 of the “Medallic Portraits of Washington,” by W. S. Baker, lately published (the price of which is five dollars). The bust was modeled by Wright, after the original by the celebrated French sculptor, Jean Antoine Houdon, executed from a cast taken from the face of Washington at Mount Vernon, in October, 1785, and is considered by good judges to be the best medallic portrait of Washington yet produced. An impression of the medal is in the Washington Cabinet of the Mint; the reverse presents an excellent copy of Trumbull’s well known picture of the Declaration of Independence. JANUARY 1888.
