This is one of a series of medallic portraits of illustrious
personages of all countries executed in Paris. (See No. 1,
p_ 4.) The portrait is a bad copy of the Chandos picture.
There is a variety of this medal in the Bibliothèque Nationale,
Paris, which has s t a f f o r d i æ for s t r a t f o r d i æ . It was. evidently
a blunder on the part of the artist.
