The engraving, 28x82 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pic-Nio on the
Fourth of July.'
The painting took whole year, and is con
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous

engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer ; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general ef
tect is very fine and impressive, nd the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
nute inspection. The union of line and stinnle
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
Thejwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the eost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America,
