poorest specimens of the engaves art that ever were
seen. They represent George and Martha Washing

are hideous in the extreme Yet these two prints OF
no value as works OF art sold at auction for the
round sum OF $780, and the fortunate purchaser at that
price Will hereafter be the envy Of every collector OF

keen There were bidders from Boston, New-York
and Philadelphia and top Of all was Geographic
order from New-York received by the Messrs. Libbie
& Co., to purchase them at any price. But there was
an unlimited buyer in Boston also, and when Sooo
