THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.

One of the most faultless and exquisitely executed work? which Italy, the homeof the Fine Arts, has contributed to our Crystal Palace, is the bust commencing this

page. The bridal wreath indicates the name— The Betrothed —which the sculptorPasquale Romanelli, of Florence, has imposed upon his work. The face deserves

every praise for its singular sweetness of expression, as if all the virtues and graces ofwoman belonged to the soul that should animate a face so sweet and fair. It is no

unworthy rival and companion of the Proserpine of Powers, of which we give here anew engraving.
