.LADY WASHINGTON. REDUCED FACSIMILE OF LOT No. 22 5 This pair of prints are of the greatest rarity, and are the first portraits of Genl. Washington and Mrs. Washington executed by a professional engraver in America. The mezzotinto by Peale, advertised for sale in 1780, although the first in point of time, must be considered in a different light, as Peale was not a professional engraver, the plates he produced being often his own designs.
