The 1785 copies are those most likely to be confused with the earliest to come off the press. <br /><br />It’s still possible to strike prints from the engraved plate in the Massachusetts archives. A few years ago, I recall, a downtown gallery made a deal with the state to sell a few new prints for large prices. Some months later, the gallery went bankrupt and its owner left town.J. L.

The accompanying text pointed out the differences in coloring. Perhaps they still have some records of that exhibition.Charles Bahnenoreply@blogger.com
