'The above miniature half-tone is from a life-size photographic Carbon Crayon, 22x26, mounted on heavy card board.  $200 has been refused for the Carbon of which this a copy.  The picture is finished in dark background, Rembrandt style, giving it an antique, statuary effect.  The original, from which this is taken, is a daguerreotype by Josiah J. Hawes, of Boston, taken of Webster in the maturity of his manhood, in 1850.  No other picture makes so prominent the dome-like forehead, the beetling brows, the deep, cavernous eyes, the high cheek bones, and the mastiff mouth--marked features of him whom Sir Charles Russell pronounces "perhaps the greatest figure the world has seen."'
