| Reproduced from the original painting now hanging in the Town Hall at Marblehead, Massachusetts. This reproduction is accurate as to details, and reproduces the original colors as closely as possible. Some years ago, on account of the demand for reproductions of this painting and the danger of damage to the valuable original, by a vote of the town of Marblehead, action was taken that no further reproductions from the original should be permitted; hence, many of the reproductions now available are not reproductions of the original painting but of one or other of the later replicas. These replicas differ in many respects from the original, both as to details and coloring. | |
