PLATE 16 



George Romney's picture of Joseph Brant, painted in England in 1776, for 

 the Earl of Warwick. In that year other pictures were made. Ten years 

 later his picture was painted in England for the Duke of Northumberland, 

 and in 1805 one of the best was made by Mr Ezra Ames of Albany, and 

 copied by Catlin for Stone's Life of Brant. It is the frontispiece of the 

 second volume. There is a fine statue of the Mohawk chief in Brantford, 

 Canada. Of his portraits Romney's is the finest known.
