Lot Essay
This composition was inspired by the same unidentified print used at the Rowson School (see Lot 258).
Gamaliel Hodges, Jr. (1716-1768) married Priscilla Webb (1719-1807) 9 October 1740 in Salem, Massachusetts, where they had six children born between 1750 and 1764. Possibly this was worked by a granddaughter, since their two daughters were born in the 1750s.
The label of John M. Wisemand, gilder and picture framer of Newport, is unexplained. The first Wiseman recorded in the Rhode Island census is John H. Wiseman shown in Newport in 1870, aged 24 and born in Prussia. Possibly Wisemand repaired or reglazed an earlier frame.
