WASHINGTON.  Philadelphia Stan V. Henkels: January 21-22, 1904. The first
auction of a number of sales which dispersed the enormous Carson
Collection there were four parts to the print sale of which this was the

Memin's personal collection of proof mezzotints of his portraits of
Washington, and his original physionotrace of Washington. Softcover.

EXHIBITION OF ENGRAVED PORTRAITS OF WASHINGTON. COMMEMORATIVE OF THE
CENTENARY OF HIS DEATH.  New York Grolier Club: 1899. An exhibition of 277
portraits, held at the Grolier Club on the Centenary of Washington's
death. The exhibition was put together some 20 years after Baker had
published his seminal work on Washington portraits, and the introduction
to this catalog notes that Hart's catalog is in preparation. Since gallery
space at the Grolier Club was limited, the Exhibition Committee chose not
to have a comprehensive collection of portraits, but rather to exhibit the
rarer ones. Softcover. 4.5"x7", 51 pages; cover printed in red & black;
light soil, a little wear, a few small chips and dings to the covers. With
the original Errata slip, as well as the slip telling readers to throw
away the original Errata slip and substitute a new one, and the new Errata
slip -a bibliographical triple-play.  [8569]  $100.00
