My bid was the only one which i got it for $150. Now i would like to find it listed somewhere in his list of works just the same to validate this to is authentic....lone of those situations where i want to "trust, but verify" what i have. Copley does have pencil sketches out there so its not uncommon....i collect autographs of founding fathers, revolutionary key figures of interest etc. and living in Ma. i thought this would be a great addition to add to my Thomas Hutchinson document, to some coloiL notes signed by members who signed the US Constitution, Presidential Autographs, letters from Jed Huntington who was General under Washington. Interesting note his wife Faith traveled from Ct back with him and other wifes of the General back to Roxbury (Boston) Camp...due to a carriage axle/break delay the Battle of Bunker Hill in Charlestown was ending when the arrived....Seeing the bloody result of war sent Faith into depression and friends and family could not shake her from it. Within less than 6 months from when they first started traveling to Boston Faith hung herself. Has they say, war is hell. It effects so many directly and many more indirectly.
