ROBERT LOVETT SR'S 'PASSAGE OF THE DELAWARE'Dave Baldwin writes: I picked up something a few months ago that I thought might be of interest to your readers. I was doing a Google search for "Robert Lovett Sr" and ended up finding an embossed monochrome cameo print done by him and it was for sale! It is pictured on my website. Although not a numismatic item it is one of my favorite pieces now. 
For comparison I've included Thomas Sully's painting. Below is Dave's description of the Lovett print from his website.

This print is after Thomas Sully's painting of an iconic moment in American history. Entitled "The Passage of the Delaware" it depicts George Washington the moment before he dismounts and begins his crossing of the Delaware River. The title below the image reads "Washington Passing the Delaware" and in the lower right hand corner is "R Lovett". For information on this painting, see: The Passage of the Delaware (www.mfa.org/collections/object/the-passage-of-the-delaware-31231) To read the complete Lovett web page, see:
