- Provenance:
- This engraving was found in collections. However, it could possibly be the "small framed picture of Gov. William Plumer, formerly possessed by Col. Daniel Cilley whose wife, Hannah Plumer Cilley (1770-1850), was a sister of Gov. Plumer," which was given to the NHHS on June 13, 1900 by Mrs. Nancy J. Langmaid, Cilley's daughter-in-law.
By March 25, 1804, Plumer had sent an engraved profile to each of his sisters. See accession file for letter and more information. - Credit Line:
