iginal painting, entitled, 'The Pic-Nic on the
Fourth of July.
The painting took a whole year, and is con
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by LillUM. Spencer. 'The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists John Rodgers, Samuel
llalpin, and Samuel Hullyer ; 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
rate 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 iu this unsurpass
ed proof of their genius.
Th&twork on the engraving alone cost over
even thoucand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work

tation, and a perpetual reminder of a day
which ought to to be cherished and held in re
