interesting discovery. His uncle, dead for
many years, and I'm younger days associated
with 7, T, Barnum, bequeathed his assets
accumulated in the show business 10
Taylor's mother, and through her the prop
erty descended to Taylor Quite recently
he took an inventory, and, upon unrolling
u map-like canvass, brought TO light an oil
painting lSXl2 feet in dimensions, repre-
senting "Christ Before Pilate.n The canvas
was painted in 1922 by William Dunlap, an
American artist, and was carried about for
exhibition much the same as is the famous
painting by Munkacsy, of the present day,
representing a similar scene. The exhibit
tion, however, was prior to 1888, since
which time the painting has been practi-
cally buried In oblivion, although the Tay-
Tor family knew that originally II was val
ued very highly, II is labeled "Christ Re-
iected; or, the Trial Before Pontius Pilate.''
Theodore Steele, the artist, pronounces il u
masterpiece for its day and generation Ne
gotiations have been opened looking TO it's
sale to the Boston Art Museum. TAYLOR is
endeavoring TO ascertain its history for the
past forty years, during which time It has
been virtually lost to the world.
