Show notes

As America nears its 250th anniversary, interest in historical portraits remains muted, evidenced by the sale of a 1853 copy by Bass Otis of a Thomas Amory II portrait for just $550. This copy reflects the tradition of engaging with colonial art, preserving family history, and the broader desire for connection to national identity.
