The 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, and the deli rote finish to the heads will bear the most mi nute inspection. The union of line and stipple 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 cost of the oopyright, and is acknowledged by competent judges the most elaborately finished largo work of art evor engraved in America.
