Howe, Trustees and Several Private Owners on the Evenings Herein Stated in the Grand Ballroom IN a wainscotted room and seated in a tall - backed armchair gaily upholstered, before warm brown portieres and in bright but softened sunlight, a mother holds happily to her breast an infant partly nude.

A white lace mantle over her hair and shoulders hangs low over her black velvet skirt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
