1890. (BLOOMFIELD, JOSEPH [1753-1823; lawyer, Revolutionary War and War of 1812 officer, governor of New Jersey, antiquarian and book collector]). Photogravure of his miniature profile portrait by Saint-Memin. 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 in., centered on an unwatermarked 10 x 7 in. wove paper sheet. Undated, but possibly late 19th or early 20th century. Pristine. A lovely profile image of Bloomfield in his military uniform. Small but very handsome. We have no idea what the source of this impression is. See E. G.
