LAST NOTICES OF THE FAMILY   75

There is no portrait of Marco Polo in existence with any claim

to authenticity. The quaint figure which we give in the Biblio-

graphy, vol. ii. p. 555, extracted from the earliest printed edition

of his book, can certainly rriake no such pretension. The oldest

one after this is probably a picture in the collection of Monsignor

Badia at Rome, of which I am now able, by the owner's courtesy,

to give a copy. It is set down in the catalogue to Titian, but

is probably a work of 1600, or thereabouts, to which the aspect

and costume belong. It is inscribed " Marcus Polvs Venetvs

Totivs Orbisetlndie Pereg rater Primus." Its history unfortunately

cannot be traced, but I believe it came from a collection at

Urbino. A marble statue was erected in his honour by a family

at Venice in the 17th century, and is still to be seen in the

Palazzo Morosini-Gattemburg in the Campo S. Stefano in that

city. The medallion portrait on the wall of the Sala dello Scudo

in the ducal palace, and which was engraved in Bettoni's

" Collection of Portraits of Illustrious Italians," is a work of

imagination painted by Francesco Griselini in 1761.* From

this, however, was taken the medal by Fabris, which was struck

in 1847 in honour of the last meeting of the Italian Congresso

Scientifico ; and from the medal again is copied, I believe, the

elegant woodcut which adorns the introduction to M. Pauthier's

ti Lazari, xxxi.
