STUART'S WASHINGTON PORTRAIT

  From 'A Moment in Time', Dan Roberts' radio series about
  historical events and figures, comes this item: "Gilbert Stuart's
  portrait of George Washington that appears on the one-dollar
  bill was, ironically, an unfinished portrait, but through numerous
  reproductions it has become an American icon.... Since 1869,
  Stuart's Athenaeum portrait of the first American president has
  appeared on the one-dollar bill."
