Sale held Wednesday and Thursday, May 9 and 10 (no date). Sale possibly held at the galleries of Williams & Everett in Boston. Apparently Mr. Bedros won "the first nedal" for his tobacco and cigarettes. Artists represented within the 22 art lots offered were Diaz (French artist), Potter, Swiss artist; Ricori, French Artist; Cowt, french Artist; G. Wilheiner (2), N. De Pena (2); N. Delannay, french Artist (4); Dufue , French Artist (2), Washington Before Charleston; Mechmed Effendi; Winterbatter lithograph; Gauphit lithograph (2); Amand Dumaresque, French, two lithographs. a total of 179 lots are listed within the four pages. Likely the best if not only source of what was displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial of Turkish and Middle Eastern goods, viewed by scores of American consumers whose interest in Orientalism was just beginning to take form. This interest was of course pre-dated by Frederic Edwin Church's interiors and exteriors at Olana, his Hudson Valley home. This catalogue NOT in Lancour.
