Life-Size Portrait etching of George Washington.
ByHENRI LE FORT,of Paris.
This great work by the President of the French Society of Etchers has been pronounced everywhere to be a masterpiece of art. Both the French and American governments promptly gave it the stamp of their approval 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.
ByF. 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—
