The cngravin"- 23 by 55. inches, is from theriginal painting, entitled, "The Pic-Nig on th a 4th of July." The painting took a whole, year, and is considered the finest of the entire list of numerous popular prodactions by Lillic M. Spencer. The engraving was the labor of four years, by three eminent artists John Rogers, John Halpin, and Saniucl Ilollyer ; the last named having been induced to come from Europe to America expressly to finish it. The engravers have ably seconded the successful labors of the painter. None but artists can fully appreciate the skill ami la bor la?ished on this engraving. The gen eral effect is very fine and impressive, and the delicate finish to the heads will bear the most minute inspection. The union of lino and stippla js executed with unusual abil ity, and their skillful combination has greatly contributed to the success of the en gravers in this unsurpassed proof of their artisticaf genius, . ' jf . : The work on the engraving alone cost over seven thousand dollars, besides the cost ot the copyright, and is acknowledged by competent judges the most .elaborately finished large work of art ever engraved in America. 1 .
