a Portrait of Copernicus.

in the duke’s collection of the portraits of his family. 
An exchange was accordingly made of the two originals, 
and the biftiop has ftnce bequeathed that of Copernicus 
to his favourite Mr. hussarzewski. 
The copy I herewith fend you is very exact in every 
refpect, except that I have glued three wooden lifts on 
the back of the board to prevent its warping. After my 
copy was taken, the proprietor of the original thought 
proper to have it repaired and varnifhed, and they are 
now fo much alike that it is fcarce poflible to difcern any 
difference. The name of my painter is lorman of Ber-* 
lin, an artift of fome reputation. 
echange des deux originaux. Le prince eveque grabowski enfin a laiffe celui 
de copernic a fon favori M. hussarzewski. 
La copie eft abfolument la memo que l’original : excepte que j’ai fait coller 
trois regies fur le derriere de la table pour empecher fon courbiffement. De- 
puis que ma copie a ete tiree, M. hussarzewski, croiant bien faire, a fait 
renouveller fon original, c’eft a dire, y mettre du vernis : et a6luellement il eft 
£ bien le meme que la copie, qu’on peut a peine s’appercevoir de la moindre 
difference, Mon peintre eft M. lorman de Berlin, affez celebre dans fon art,.
