| Figure 26 J. P. Newell, detail of “NEWPORT, R.I. IN 1730,” Boston, 1864. Lithograph. 18" x 28". (Courtesy, Historic Deerfield, Inc.; photo, Penny Leveritt.) This lithograph, printed by J. H. Bufford, is after an overmantle painting from the Phillips House on Mill Street. The painting is owned by the Newport Art Museum. The date in Newell’s title is incorrect. The overmantle painting is dated 1740 based on the construction of the Colony House in 1739 and the extension of Long Wharf in 1741. |
