13. Medallion, by Margaret Foley; taken from sittings in 1865, and given by the family of James T. Furness to Harvard College.
14. Photographs, by Black of Boston; one reproduced in Harper's Weekly, March 24, 1866; and another in 1869, reproduced in Harper's Weekly, March 28, 1874, and engraved in Sumner's Works.
15. Photograph, by Brady of Washington, in 1869; reproduced in ‘Every Saturday,’ March 4, 1871 (a weekly newspaper published in Boston), in ‘Memorial History of Boston,’ vol.
III. p. 391, and in this Memoir (vol.
III.).
16. Photographs, by Warren of Cambridge, about 1870-1871,—one standing, one sitting with a cane, one holding a French newspaper, and one reproduced in the Memorial volume published by the city of Boston in 1874.
17. Portrait, by William M. Hunt, not from sittings, but following Allen and Rowell's photograph.
18. Portrait, by Edgar Parker, for which sittings were given in Boston in 1873. Mr. Parker painted three portraits,—one now belonging to the city of Boston, another to the Wallace Public Library of Fitchburg, and the third still belonging to one of the artist's relatives.
19. Two unfinished portraits, by William Page, for which sittings were given in New York in 1872 or 1873.
20. Photograph, by Allen and Rowell of Boston, the last ever taken, made late in 1873; is reproduced in the Memorial volume printed by the State in 1874, and in this Memoir (vol.
IV.), and has been engraved by the treasury department at Washington.
The photographers have also issued it enlarged.
21. Full-length portrait, by Henry Ulke, for which sittings were given in Washington in 1873-1874; last likeness from life.
It was ordered by Hayti in recognition of the senator's opposition to the San Domingo annexation, and now hangs in the Senate chamber in the Haytian capitol.
The artist painted two other portraits at the same time, all three alike representing Sumner speaking in the Senate,—one full-length and owned by John B. Alley, of Lynn; and the other three-quarters in length, and given by James Wormley to the State of Massachusetts.
This last hangs in the State Library (Senate Doc., 1884, Nos. 272, 323; Boston Transcript, Sept. 27, 1883).
22. Various busts and statues in plaster, offered for a bronze statue, for which Thomas Ball's design was accepted.
The statue was erected in the Public Garden in Boston in 1878.
The oil paintings of Sumner were generally unsatisfactory.
Those by Ulke, however, represent well his figure, dress, and attitude in debate, and give a better idea of him in his later years than any other paintings.
Cambridge, MA. Press of John Wilson and Son. 1877.
