專家說明

On May 24, 1827, Colonel James Lee was presented with the present pair of silver ewers for his military service. An article written on June 2, 1827, in ‘The New-York Mirror and Ladies’ Literary Gazette,’ reports, ‘The officers of the Third Regiment assembled at the new Masonic Hall in Broadway, for the purpose of presenting Colonel James Lee, late commandant of the Regiment, with a pair of splendid silver pitchers, manufactured by Jones & Boyce expressly for the occasion, as a testimonial of their regard and friendship.’ The article indicates that ‘the pitchers, a beautiful specimen of workmanship’, were available for public viewing following the presentation ceremony.
