by becoming early purchasers. We have bought from the artist all the
copies remaining in his possession, and offer them as follows:

HENRI LE FORT'S GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Between the two windows of the late General Grant's library is a
large portrait bust of Washington, engraved by Henri Le Fort, said
by Mr. McLane and others to be the best presentment they had seen
of the great founder of American independence. Mr. Huntington, a
well-known amateur, possesses three hundred portraits of
Washington, and he claims that Henri Le Fort's etching is the best.
This celebrated French aquafortist obtained the following rewards:
A medal at the Paris Salon in 1881; a medal at the Boston
Exposition in 1883; a diploma of honor at Caen.; a medal at
Amsterdam, and one this year at Antwerp. All these medals were
awarded on HENRI LE FORT'S LIFE-SIZE ETCHING OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON.--_Daily News_ (_Philadelphia_), _December 18, 1885_.
Life-Size Portrait Etching of Christopher Columbus.
BY F. FOCILLON, OF PARIS.
This is a companion picture to Le Fort's Washington by Le Fort's great
rival, whose etchings are well known in America. His work has not quite
the boldness of Le Fort, but it excels in attention to fine detail, and
has received unqualified approval from critics.
There have been printed twenty-five special remarque proofs and 100
double remarque proofs on parchment. Later on will be printed 100
remarque proofs on Japan paper and 500 on Holland paper. We can supply
at present--
Special proofs on parchment, signed, 3 remarques
(the centre remarque being a pen sketch) $100.00
Double remarque proofs, parchment, signed 72.00
Address,
W. H. LOWDERMILK & CO.,
