- Although unsigned, this rare painting was certainly done
by an accomplished artist. On the reverse is the canvas maker's
label:
"PREPARED BY O. STEARNS, NO. 9 AMORY HALL, BOSTON"
-
- Stearns was at this address only in 1849-1850. Since the
solar lamp was developed in the early 1840's in Philadelphia,
this may be the earliest documentable painting showing a solar
lamp. Dimensions are: painting 34" x 27" and frame
43" x 36". In as found condition.
-
- $ 7500.
