Relief cut portrait (Reilly 1563) originally intended to represent John Dickinson, was apparently executed by Paul Revere for Ezekiel Russell, and was first used in Ames, Nathaniel. Astronomical diary; or Almanack for ... 1772. (Evans 11962). Cf. Brigham, C.S. Paul Revere's engravings, Worcester, Mass., 1954, p. 135-136. The cut was used again by Russell in 1775, on a broadside entitled a New liberty song (Bristol B4073).
