THE 'HITT' PORTRAIT OF WESLEY

A reproduction of an oil painting, which, according to a legend on the back, was given in 1808 by the Rev. Dr. Coke to the Rev. Daniel Hitt, the Methodist Book Agent in New York from 1808 to 1814. The painting was sent to Cincinnati to be lithographed, and was there destroyed by fire. One copy is said to have been saved, bearing the words Middleton Strowbridge & Co. in the corner, and from this the photogravure has been prepared. Tradition ascribed the painting to Sir Joshua Reynolds.
