Notes |
A letter inserted in the LCP Minutes vol. 9, p. 137, dated Nov. 16, 1888, from Lambdin to G. M. Abbot, reads: "The John Penn
was copied from a picture said to be by [Godfrey] Kneller, but that could not have been for he died very many years before
Penn was born. I think it was probably painted by Hudson, who lived in John Penn's day. The original belonged, I think, to
Samuel Lardner, from whom it was borrowed. The copy was presented by me to the Library Co."
