Moving along in the swift, re- lentless current of Chestnut street in the blurred mass of humanity, they re- semble puppe but once they pass to rarified atmosphere of the realm of art, they become distinct. y Among the three hundred that packed the gallery were quiét, reserved men with carefully trimmed. moustaches and Van Dyke beards. ‘They strolled from one picture to another waiting the time of the sale. Their eyes would light with pleasure at the work of the mas- ters which distinguished them from the casual visitor. Several bidders, riding their particu- lar hobbies, would doggedly force each other up in price: The auctioneer’s voice became an aid to the pictures, which seemed to whisper of the soul of the master that still lives in his work.

Auctioneers 80 Federal Street 1808-10 Chestnut Street Boston, Mass. Philadelphia, Pa. CATALOGUE COMPILED BY SAMUEL T. FREEMAN & COMPANY Preface The late George C. Thomas was for many years a partner of Drexel & Company of Philadelphia, and J. P. Morgan Company of New York, and through his friendship and association with Mr. Morgan, became a well-recognized col- lector and art connoisseur. His collection of Paintings at the time of his death in 1909 was well known to contain some exceptionally fine examples of the great masters. His collection of Autographs and Rare Books, which will be sold the week following the sale of the Paintings, is exceedingly choice. Through his connections abroad as well as in this country, he was able to acquire examples of great masters, about the authenticity of which there is no doubt, and a number of the more important examples either are accompanied with autograph letters or were purchased from collections of such importance as to eliminate any question as to their genuineness. To the best of our knowledge this is the most important sale of paintings ever held in Philadelphia. By LOR TERMS OF SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.

Dear Sir:— I am very much flattered to learn that you have become the owner of my picture “Dans le Plaine.” I am happy to be able to tell you that at the Salon of the Champs Elysies, it was unanimously classed by the opinion of the artists and the public among the best of my works. It has been on my part the object of particular care and I have rarely experienced so much pleasure in painting as during its execution. It is the hour of lunch under a threatening sky in the shadow of a stack, which they are constructing; the peasants are lying down or sitting in the attitudes of repose. A young girl whose rose hood resembles a halo, brings the frugal repast in a basket, which the farmer's wife takes to make the distribution to the workmen. The farmer, a little farther off, arrives smoking his pipe, leaving behind him his white horse and cart, loaded with wheat. The plain stretches out lost to view in the sun. It is this plain that I have described in my last book “Un Peintre Paysan,” which I have the honor to offer you. Will you accept, my dear sir, the expression of my sentiments the most distinguished.

Though there is no record of the earlier history of this picture, there can be little dee that Sir Joshua painted the work in 1787 for his own hanging at the same time that he painted the one now in the possession of Mr. Ross of Montreal for the Lady’s father, the Earl of Upper Ossory.” Illustrated.
