By James Sharples, James Walter, London. Two bust portraits, one full-face, in continental uniform, the other profile, in civilian's costume. These, together with a portrait of Martha Washington, are said to have been executed about 1796 for Robert Cary, of Cary & Co., London, mercantile agents for Washington. The full-face picture was exhibited in New York in 1854, but returned to England; in 1882 all three were taken to the United States and exhibited in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other cities. In November, 1886, Major Walter presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society the evidence in support of the claim of these pictures to authenticity, with a view to obtain its aid in an appeal to the Government at Washington to purchase them for the nation; and on January 13, 1887, the committee of investigation reported adversely both to the authenticity of the pictures and of the letters published in Major Walter's "Memorials."—Johnston, Portraits of W.; Walter, Memorials of W. (New York, 1887); Nation (1887), xliv. 49.
