[710.] Pruyn. Samuel Pruyn. Albany.
Pictorial. The scene is towards the close of day, by the side of the water; Orpheus sits upon a little knoll playing his lyre as he gazes up into the sky; the passing ship does not distract him, and the rising clouds and growing dusk are not observed. A very pretty plate. Signed, D. W. Wilson Sc.
[711.] Putnam. The Property of Aaron Putnam, Medford. 178-.
A printed label with the motto between the borders. Motto, The Wicked borrow, but do not return again; See thou art not of that Number.
[712.] Quincy. Josiah Quincy.
Plain armorial. Motto, Discretio Moderatrix Virtutum. A very fuzzy plate. The mantling comes well down the sides of the shield, and is blown above the helmet in very feathery form. An etching, with the name in fac-simile of owner’s autograph: in two sizes with no great dissimilarity, though the motto is not given on the larger one. The Massachusetts patriot.
[713.] Randolph. John Randolph Esqr of the Middle Temple London.
Armorial. Late Jacobean. No motto. The name and address occupy a double ribbon at the foot. Signed, BATH. I. Skinner. The copy before me is dated in writing, 1742. Of Virginia. This is the same copper that the Peyton Randolph was engraved on. The lower ribbon is added, and the name imperfectly altered. The old name shows through. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 64.
[714.] Randolph. John Randolph of Roanoke.
Plain armorial. Motto, Fari quae sentiat. Very pretty mantling. A second motto above the crest, Nil admirari. The Virginia orator.
