The Cochin type does not appear as often as some of the others; however, the Library has less important engravings of it, such as the wood-cut, vignette on title-page of Works of Franklin, Exeter, 1839. Jules Guiffrey, in his book " Les Caffiéri," Paris, 1877, pp. 241-243, gives an account of a bust of Franklin, by Jean Jacques Caffiéri, which is referred to also on pp. 285, 453, 500, 502. It was done from nature," bore the motto "Virtutis veræ custos, rigidusque satelles," and was exhibited, in terracotta, at the Salon of 1777. A passage from the "Mémoires secrets," relating to the bust, is cited. Franklin was one of several notables whose portraits were modeled by both Caffiéri and Houdon, and we are told that a deplorable rivalry and animosity ensued between the two sculptors. The bust passed into the possession of the king, and no reproduction of it has been found in the Library, nor has any account of it, other than Guiffrey's, been discovered. But the note "Fait d'après le buste de Caffiéri " is written in ink, by a contemporary hand, on one (no. 233) of a number of engravings (nos. 233-238) which have a special form of jabot in common. It is to be noted that one of these, the Pollard engraving (no. 236), is described as engraved from a medallion. Portraits of Franklin, cont'd. Greuze type, cont'd. 1854, p. 12, there is a report of the donation to the Virginia Historical Society of a portrait of Dr Franklin, copied from the original of Greuze, by Mons. Guillaume, of Paris," by Hon. Wm. C. Rives. The donor, in his letter to the secretary of the Society, printed on pages 12-14, states that "It is from an undoubted original by Greuze," and gives a brief history of the painting, which, he says, "is supposed to have been presented by Franklin to Beyer, a French inventor, in return for certain kindnesses." A portrait of Franklin by Greuze was sold for 2,000 francs at the sale of the collection of "M. le comte A. de G.... 39 June 11, 1904, Paris. ("Bulletin de l'Art," Aug. 6, 1904, P, 222.) The portrait (bust, directed and facing right, looking front, fur collar), reproduced on p. 106 of Lillian I. Rhoads' Story of Philadelphia," 1900, has a very slight resemblance in costume to the Greuze of 1777, but the face conforms to no definite type, and the source of the picture is not given. 88. Yours most affectionately | B. Franklin [two lines fac. sig.] Bust, directed and facing right, looking front, jabot. 5 x 4. Half-tone, by BOSTON ENG. CO. From a portrait in oil, a gift to the Public Library of the City of Boston, as a painting by GREUZE, from GADRNER BREWER. "There are in the Public Library two original portraits of Franklin. One of them by Duplessis... The other, painted by Greuze, was presented in 1872 by Gardner Brewer, Esq, and its history is told in a paper by the late Charles Sumner in the twentieth Annual Report of the Library, p. 86. It was painted for Oswald, who negoti ated with Franklin the provisional articles of peace of Nov. 30, 1782. There is also a picture in the Boston Art Museum closely resembling the Duplessis of the Public Library, for which the claim is made that it was painted by Greuze. (Boston Daily Advertiser, 1858, copied in the Crayon, NewYork, 1858, p. 330)." Memorial history of Boston, edited by Justin Winsor, vol. 2, Boston [1881], p. 291. The portrait in the Boston Public Library, according to the Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist. and Biog., vol. II, 1887, P. 173, and according to a letter from a descendant of Oswald (Magazine of American History, vol. 27, 1892, pp. 472-473), is probably a replica or a copy of Duplessis. It is quite of the Duplessis type. See also no. 120, wrongly attributed to Greuze. Jean Baptiste Nini modelled a medallion portrait of Franklin in 1777: To this Franklin refers in his letter to his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Bache, dated Passy, 2 June, 1779: The clay medallion of me you say you gave to Mr. Hopkinson was the first of the kind made in France. A variety of others have been made since of different sizes; some to be set in the lids of snuff boxes, and some so small as to be worn in rings; and the number sold are incredible. These, with the pictures, busts, and prints, (of which copies upon copies are spread everywhere,) have made your father's face as well known as that of the moon, so that he durst not do anything that would oblige him to run away, as his phiz would discover him wherever he should venture to show it. It is said by learned etymolygists that the name doll, for the images children play with, is derived from the word IDOL. From the number of dolls now made of him, he may be truly said, in that sense, to be i-doll-ised in this country.' (Bigelow, J. Life of Franklin, 3d edition, Phila., 1893, vol. 2, chap. 16, p. 480.) In vol. 2 of the biography by Bigelow, above cited, there appears, opposite p. 480, a reproduction of a drawing by C. A. Vanderhoof], with the title: CHATEAU DE CHAUMONT(The famous clay medallion of Franklin was made of clay from this estate.) 89. BENJN FRANKLIN.

E. and E. E., Jr., "Franklin in France," vol. 1, Boston, 1888, oppos. p. 140.) A wood engraving, "Medallion by Nini in the National Portrait Gallery," showing name and date: NINI 1777, appears in J. R. Green's "Short history of the English people," illustrated ed., vol. 4, London, 1894, p. 1681. See also no. 139. Nini. 1778. 99. Head, profile to left. Medallion.

The above listed half-tone reproduction of the terra-cotta medallion, in the Metropolitan Museum, accompanies a note by C. H. Hart, who finds on it the first use of the famous inscription to Franklin, "He wrested the thunderbolt from heaven and the sceptre from tyrants." Hon. John Bigelow refers to more than four portraits of Franklin by Nini. See also 256A. Houdon. 1778. Jean Antoine Houdon modelled a bust of Franklin in 1778. "His bust of Franklin," says C. H. Hart, "was exhibited in the Salon of 1779, and again in 1791, which would leave the inference that he had made two different busts of Franklin, and would tend to sustain the tradition that he modelled one in Philadelphia in 1785." "It is said that Houdon once made a plaster cast of Franklin's living face, in Paris."-Facsimile of Poor Richard's almanack for 1733... The Duodecimos, 1894. The Houdon bust has a waistcoat buttoned up high, and Portraits of Franklin, cont'd. showing simply a strip of cravat or neckcloth wound round the neck. In the Ceracchi bust, this cloth is loosely knotted, the ends falling down on the chest. In the History of the celebration of the inauguration of Washington, ed. by C. W. Bowen, N. Y., 1892, p. 61, and oppos. 524, there appear four reproductions of busts by Houdon. Two of them (owned by the Metropolitan Museum, N. Y., and the Boston Athenæum, respectively) correspond in feature and costume to the Houdon type as described. The other two (owned by the American Philosophical Society, Phila., and the late Abram S. Hewitt) both have the loosely knotted neckcloth of the Ceracchi bust, and appear also to resemble that in the features. See no. 204. The Houdon bust has appeared frequently on postage stamps; thus, in profile to right, on the CARRIERS STAMP 1851, 1861 issue 30 c and 1 c, 1869 issue I c, 1870-71 issue1 c. 100.
