Lot Essay

A picture in the Collection of S.W. Pelletier, Georgia (Pelletier a.o., op.cit., pp. 254-5, plate 1) shows the same figures in reverse to the plate, to which three further figures were added. Schnackenburg dates this plate to circa 1653-60, while Slatkes proposes a date of circa 1653, comparing the handling to that of B.18 and 34, both dated 1653.
