Excerpt from Valuable Oil Paintings, Water-Color Drawings, Etc., Belonging to the Hon. Milton S.

As a rule, the pictures have excellent subjects, and are important examples of the artists, many of whom are seldom represented in this country; they were chiefly painted to order, or purchased at the various art centres of Europe, Mr. Latham sparing no cost to procure choice specimens.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
