Three unidentified portraits: a man and a woman, circular, and 2 unidentified male portraits. 14-20. This last group of portraits consists of photogravure prints in brown, produced by the Andersen-Lamb Company of New York, a 20th century company known for its high quality printing. The portraits in this group are ALEXANDER HAMILTON, WILLIAM LIVINGSTON, WILLIAM PATERSON, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, JONATHAN DAYTON, THOMAS MIFFLIN and ROGER SHERMAN.
