Description
(PRESIDENTS.) A Catalogue of the Second Exhibition of Paintings, in the Athenaeum Gallery (wrapper title). [8] pages. 4to, original printed wrappers, worn, inked date stamp, long tape repair; crudely cropped with loss of a line of text on at least two pages. Boston: William W. Clapp, 1 May 1828 This second and far more important edition adds, on the final page, a partial inventory of Thomas Jefferson's painting collection. It is headed "The following are part of the Collection formed by the late President Jefferson, and with the exception of 313 and 314, are for sale." Not a bad collection, either: "General Washington (an original), painted 1784, Wright"; a portrait of Lafayette; Trumbull's original sketch of the surrender of Cornwallis; Gilbert Stuart's portrait of Jefferson himself; and works by Van Dyke, Benjamin West, and more. Shaw & Shoemaker 32427. None traced at auction since 1897.
