The Marble bust of Washington, by Cirachi, was deposited in Bordeaux before the death of that artist. : It is a most elegant specimen of art, remarkable for strength of expression and exact resemblance; superior even to the one previously executed by Houdon. It is of colossal size. Mr. Lee, our Consul at Bordeaux, has employed an able artist to multiply copies from it in plaister cast, reduced to the size of life. He proposes to have them delivered in America, to subscribers only, at twenty five dollars each, free of cost. We agree to take at the above price the number of said copies affixed to our respective names.
