Billerica and up through Townsend, Lunenburg and Ashby to Sharon, New Hampshire.
William Saville, Joshua Pool, Jr., and William Richardson executed many of the
known examples…students and imitators inspired by the aforementioned artists
created closely related compositions. This piece is signed in pen "Drawn By
