K BCCC jcxroii NOTICE THE following collection of ancient Paintings and precious Engravings, the merit of which is left to the judgment of the American people, has been selected from several galleries, belonging to the most reputable families of Florence, and other cities of Italy. The owners of these nu­ merous and valuable specimens of fine arts have entrusted them to Mr. Sanguinetti, proprietor himself of a considerable quantity of paintings, and of some master-pieces, with the view to exhibit them for the inspec­ tion of the intelligent Americans, whose taste for the productions of genius may be equalled, but not surpassed, by any other people. A board, composed of the most celebrated artists of Tuscany, among whom were Professor Benvenuti, Director of the National Academy of Florence, Anthony Cappellano, the illustrious sculptor, Faustino Ander- loni, and Joseph Collignon, have, at the request of the proprietors of said collection, examined the different articles offered to form this exhibition, and excluded all the paintings and engravings which, in their opinion, were considered of secondary merit, and worthy of less attention from an enlightened and refined people. Their judgments and certificates, duly legalized, from the civil autho­ rities of Florence, and from the American Consul General, will be pri­ vately exhibited on request. N. B. Persons desirous of obtaining any article contained in the cata­ logue, are requested to apply personally at Mr. Sanguinetti's, or at L.
