ull bust, to the left. Oval with inner shadow border 2/16 and outer framelike border 8/16 within a shaded rectangle. The oval sits on a pedestal with the title on the top edge. Below the pedestal top, is a framed tablet on which the following poem appears: Honneur du nouveau monde et de l'humanite, Ce Sage amiable et vrai les guide et les eclaire; Comme un autre Mentor, il cache a l'oeil vulgaire, Sous les traits d'un mortel, une devinite. Par M. Feutry. Line.
Cresswell cites this as the finest of the Franklin portraits and probably the most reproduced.
