Full text

The Fine arts – We have lately seen a portrait of Mr George Robert Nichols, M.C., from the pencil of Mr. Charles Rodius. The likeness is admirably preserved and the drawing is artistical throughout. We believe it is the intention of Mr. Rodius to have the subject lithographed, in order that the public may have a copy of one whose name and fame are so familiar to the colourists.
